Darrang: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed Operation Sindoor and dedicated its success to Maa Kamakhya and Lord Krishna in Assam's Darrang. Addressing a public meeting, during his first visit to Assam after Operation Sindoor, PM Modi said, "Yesterday was my first visit to Assam after Operation Sindoor. Operation Sindoor was a huge success with the blessings of Maa Kamakhya. Today, I am having a different holy experience by coming to this land of Maa Kamakhya."
Wishing the public on the occasion of Janmashtami celebrations in Durrang, PM Modi recalled his Independence Day speech and hailed the idea of "Sudarshan Chakra" for national security. "It is also an icing on the cake that Janmashtami is being celebrated in this region today. From the Red Fort, I had said, I remembered Chakradhari Mohan. I remembered Shri Krishna, and I have put forth the idea of a Sudarshan Chakra in the future security policy before the people," he said.
"This region is the centre for Assam's identity. I am fortunate to have a darshan of the public of a land full of inspiration and courage," the Prime Minister added. In his Independence Day address from the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the ambitious "Sudarshan Chakra Mission," aimed at bolstering India's national security over the next decade.
"In the next ten years, by 2035, I want to expand, strengthen, and modernise this national security shield. Drawing inspiration from Lord Shri Krishna, we have chosen the path of the Sudarshan Chakra...The nation will be launching the Sudarshan Chakra Mission. The entire modern system should be researched, developed, and manufactured in India, harnessing the talent of our youth. This powerful system will not only counter terrorist attacks but also strike back at the terrorists," he said from the Red Fort.
"India aims to develop its own Iron Dome-like defence system, named Mission Sudarshan Chakra, designed to safeguard critical sites, including civilian areas," he added. Earlier today, PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the Darrang Medical College and Hospital, GNM School and B.Sc. Nursing College in Assam's Darrang. He also laid the foundation for the Guwahati Ring Road Project that will enhance urban mobility, decongest traffic, and improve connectivity in and around the capital city, and the Kuruwa-Narengi Bridge over the River Brahmaputra, improving connectivity and promoting socio-economic development in the region.
