Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is visiting Bhuj Air Force Station today to interact with personnel of the Indian Army, Indian Air Force, Border Security Force (BSF), and other security agencies.
He will be briefed on the current security situation and operational preparedness by senior commanders.
Lt Gen Dheeraj Seth, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Command, will be present during the visit and will brief the Hon’ble Raksha Mantri on the exemplary role being played by the Indian Army and BSF operating under the Bhuj-based Independent Infantry Brigade.
The visit highlights the coordinated efforts of all security forces in ensuring the safety and security of critical assets in the region.
Indian Army Air Defence units, deployed near Bhuj and Naliya, have successfully neutralized multiple hostile Pakistani drones in recent days, effectively foiling attempts to target vital military installations.
The Raksha Mantri’s interaction with the troops is aimed at acknowledging their courage, operational excellence, and high morale in the face of emerging threats, especially in the domain of drone warfare.
