The presence of two women officers, including Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, leading the official briefing on the Indian military strikes on terror targets in Pakistan is being seen as highly symbolic, representing strength and sacrifice, besides honouring the women widowed in the Pahalgam attack.
The name of the operation 'Sindoor', a reference to the vermilion worn by married Hindu women, was also aimed to convey India's strong resolve to respond to the terrorists and emphasised the human cost of terrorism.
Qureshi of the Indian Army, provided details on the military aspects of the operation, including the targets and precision strikes and also presented videos showing the destruction.
Meanwhile, Wing Commander Singh is credited with carrying out precise, high-risk evacuation missions.
