During a recent event in Lucknow, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh revealed that the Indian Navy's Operation Sindoor successfully confined the entire Pakistan Navy to its ports. This operation, initiated on May 7, 2025, was a direct response to the Pahalgam terror attack and involved precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure. Singh emphasized the strategic role of the Navy, which was deployed in the Arabian Sea to maintain constant pressure on Pakistan. Additionally, the Nausena Shaurya Vatika, an open-air naval museum inaugurated in Lucknow, is designed to showcase the Indian Navy's legacy and operational capabilities. Singh noted that the museum would serve as a center of inspiration and a tourist attraction, highlighting the importance of maritime security for all citizens, regardless of their location. He also pointed out the significant increase in India's defense exports, which have grown to nearly ₹40,000 crore since 2014. The museum will feature various naval exhibits, including the decommissioned INS Gomati, symbolizing Lucknow's connection to the Indian Navy.
