Operation Sindoor

Following the deadly ambush on Indian forces in Pahalgam, which claimed multiple lives including Lt Narwal's, the Indian government launched Operation Sindoor—a series of precision strikes aimed at dismantling terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The operation targeted nine terror hubs believed to be linked to the attack.

In a public statement, she called Operation Sindoor a “befitting reply” to the perpetrators and a tribute to the families who bore the brunt of terrorism. Her father-in-law, Rajesh Narwal, echoed similar sentiments, praising the military action as a necessary message to those enabling cross-border terrorism.
