In the aftermath of India's missile strikes on nine terror infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), authorities in Srinagar have set up central control rooms across the Kashmir Valley to closely monitor the situation and any potential fallout.

According to the District Magistrate, the control room will function 24/7 as a centralized center to coordinate efforts between departments, track ongoing developments, and ensure prompt sharing of information. "It shall also act as a grievance redressal platform for the general public, enabling efficient resolution of issues arising in real time," the order said.
The control room can be contacted to address public concerns, coordinate emergency response services, and offer necessary support and assistance.

Indian Army: Operation Sindoor
In retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taibas base Muridke, under Operation Sindoor.

Under Operation Sindoor, the Indian military targeted Markaz Taiba of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Muridke, Markaz Subhan Allah of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in Bahawalpur, Hizbul Mujahideen's Mehmoona Joya Facility in Sialkot and LeT's base in Markaz Ahle Hadith in Barnala and its camp in Muzaffarabad's Shawai Nalla, military officials said.
