India responded to the barbarous Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 civilians under the codename ‘Operation Sindoor’ on the intervening night of Tuesday-Wednesday. India struck as many as nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) to avenge the massacre that took place on April 22 in Pahalgam. Called Sindoor or vermillion, that signifies the marital status of Hindu women, Indians gathered on social media early Wednesday to celebrate the message sent by the country against Pakistan and the terror hubs it has harboured for years.
