00:00At the outset, let me state this, that this recently concluded operation of Tarashi is the perfect example of perseverance,
00:12clarity of thought, proper planning, the vision which we had and most importantly relentless efforts of the month and integrated
00:24approach of each and every force and each and every agency working in the future.
00:31And most importantly, it is the perfect example of seamless coordination at all levels, at all levels from the troops
00:43working on ground, from all of us sitting over here, between the co-commanders, the ADGs, IGs, between the DGP
00:52and the Army commander.
00:54And let me tell you that everybody contributed towards the success of this operation decisively.
01:01All the resources which were available to all of us, all were employed in a joint and integrated manner from
01:12a dog to a drone.
01:14And what you see, the success you see today is actually the reflection of the strength of our unity of
01:24efforts.
01:25You know, this particular operation, though it started on 14th of January and our first contact was established on the
01:3318th.
01:34And after that we established multiple contacts on 18th, then on 22nd, then on 25th, then on the 31st, then
01:45on the 4th and then on the 8th.
01:47But our aim was not achieved. But together, we did not lose heart. We had the clarity of thought and
01:57we kept on planning and preparing for the operation.
02:00Every day, we used to sit on the drawing board, we used to reorient ourselves, re-align ourselves, re-deploy
02:08ourselves, because together we were dynamic in our thoughts and in our actions.
02:13We would quickly discuss any int which used to come from any of the agencies, any of the forces, we
02:21would corroborate it and re-deploy ourselves and start working again.
02:26And in Hindi, they say that, when the demands are fixed, the difficulties are just left. And the difficulties are
02:34just left.
02:35We got our first success here on the 4th of February when we killed Adil. And then we kept on
02:44pursuing, we were in constant pursuance of our aim.
02:47And it was on the 21st, within these operations, when, you know, the SSP Kishtwad, Mr. Naresh, he gave the
02:56input to Brigadier Sunil, who is the Commander 9th Sector.
03:01And we corroborated it through all the agencies which are present here and working over here. And then the operation
03:09was launched.
03:11Collectively, jointly, with all the elements which we had on our disposal, that is, the Army, the Special Forces, Police,
03:21the SOG, the CRPF, and everybody.
03:24And collectively, you would have seen that the way we operated in a very, very calm, composed, collective, corroborative manner,
03:36that the kind of success we achieved,
03:38especially, you know, without suffering any casualty, any harm to any of our troops, except for the brave dog Tyson,
03:49who actually initiated the operation.
03:51And that is how, collectively, we could conclude that operation.
03:56And I think that is the strength we have, and that is the strength which gives us more confidence, that
04:03come what may, we'll keep operating like this,
04:05and we'll keep neutralizing terrorists, whosoever comes in our area, which is of responsibility.
04:12And not just this, you would have seen that the Delta Force, with the support from White Knight Corps, from
04:22Northern Command,
04:23and from the support of each and everyone who is sitting here, and who is not sitting here also, we
04:29are just representing our forces and agencies.
04:32But each one contributed that in the month of February, we have been able to eliminate six JEM terrorists.
04:41And on both the extremes of our area, one in the area of Kodampur, and other in the area of
04:48Keshetwar.
04:49And we, together, we promise you that we'll continue to do so.
04:55And to the Amam, I would like to say that,
05:02we will continue to do so.
05:06Thank you very much.
