PM Modi visits Punjab's Adampur airbase; engages with jawans

Send Push
PM Modi visited the Adampur Air Force Station in Punjab on Tuesday, where he interacted with Indian Air Force personnel, in the aftermath of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

The prime minister arrived at the Adampur air base early in the morning and received a detailed briefing from Air Force officers and spent time engaging with our brave jawans, according to PTI sources.

"Earlier this morning, I went to AFS 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 BJP supremo wrote in a post on social media platform X.


The visit comes in the backdrop of a period of heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan. The situation escalated after Pakistan-backed terrorists killed 26 people in J&K’s Pahalgam on April 22.

As a response, India carried out targeted strikes on nine terror camps across the border on May 7 as part of Operation Sindoor.

Following days of cross-border exchanges, both nations agreed to a ceasefire on May 10, with India stressing that it had only “paused” its operations and would calibrate future actions based on Pakistan’s behaviour which they are “monitoring.”

On Monday, the two countries' DGMOs spoke on a hotline call to cease all firing for the second time in light of the growing dangers of the war-like situation between the two nuclear-armed nations.

PM Modi, in his first address to the nation on Monday evening since Op Sindoor, said that Indian relations with Pakistan will likely remain strained despite a "pause" in the Ops. He further clarified that talks with Pakistan will be restricted around terrorism and J&K, while also hinting that the Indus Water Treaty will continue to remain in abeyance.
