Adampur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday visited the Adampur Air Base. PM Modi interacted with Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel at the air base. He was briefed on Operation Sindoor. The Prime Minister called it a very special experience.
PM Modi said that he was "eternally grateful" to the armed forces as India successfully carried out Operation Sindoor.
"Earlier this morning, I went to Air Force Station Adampur and met our brave air warriors and soldiers. It was a very special experience to be with those who epitomise courage, determination and fearlessness. India is eternally grateful to our armed forces for everything they do for our nation, the Prime Minister said in an X post.
PM Modi's visit to the Air Force station came days after a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor, launched by the Indian Armed Forces to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
Notably, the Adampur air base played a crucial role in the recent India-Pakistan conflict after India targeted nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) as part of Operation Sindoor.
Pakistan targeted Adampur Air Base on the intervening night of May 9 and 10 with missiles and drones. However, the attack was successfully thwarted by the IAF.
