‘Serve through satellites’: What V Narayanan said on ISRO ensuring safety of citizens amid India-Pakistan tension
- On May 7, 2025, India initiated Operation Sindoor, carrying out strikes against multiple militant locations across Pakistan and the region of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
- The operation was launched in retaliation to the terrorist assault that occurred in Pahalgam on April 22 and addressed Pakistan's rapid breaches of ceasefire agreements through firing incidents and drone incursions.
- ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan stated that a fleet of at least 10 satellites operates around the clock to monitor strategic regions, safeguarding the well-being of Indian citizens amid rising tensions.
- Narayanan highlighted the critical role of satellite and drone technologies in maintaining surveillance over India’s extensive 7,500 km coastline and border areas, stating that continuous monitoring would be impossible without these advanced tools.
- Following ceasefire communications on May 10, hostilities paused temporarily but tensions remain, with ongoing satellite enhancements and a planned May 18 launch of a new surveillance satellite to strengthen monitoring abilities.
