The role of the Director General of Military Operations is in focus after the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan was declared following a call between officers holding the rank in both countries. The position, which also involves planning and overseeing military operations, was equally important - if not more so - when India and Pakistan fought the Kargil war in 1999. The man occupying the post at the time was Nirmal Chander Vij, who went on to become the Army chief in 2005 and was instrumental in the decision to construct a 740-km fence along the Line of Control. In an exclusive interview with NDTV on Friday, General Vij (retired) said that, after Operation Sindoor - during which India struck terror bases in Pakistan, including the headquarters of the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed - Islamabad has been sent a clear message that its nuclear bluff will not work anymore and that India will go to any extent to make sure its national integrity is safeguarded. G...

The aerial threats were identified, tracked and neutralised by India's integrated air defence systems. India's Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) played a pivotal role in defending the skies. An automated system integrates data from forces to combat aerial threats. AFNET - Laying The Genesis Of Net-Centric Ops India's integrated air defence system - which includes AD systems of the Army, Navy and the Air Force - was brought together by the Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS). Air Marshal Bharti said IACCS accorded us a "net-centric operational capability, which is vital to modern-day warfighting." Net-Centric or the network-centric a...

Sanju Samson 's three consecutive half-centuries at the T20 World Cup 2026 was the inspirational story to emerge from the tournament. For long, Samson has been considered as having the talent to make it big on the biggest stage. Somehow, the consistency never arrived, and ahead of the T20 World Cup, he suffered a torrid run. He did not play in all matches in the tournament either. But once he started to fire, beginning with the Super 8 match against West Indies, there was no stopping him. India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak revealed the quiet confidence that preceded Samson's resurgent run to becoming the Player of the Tournament in India's triumphant 2026 Men's T20 World Cup campaign, recalling how the wicketkeeper-batter promised that he would contribute whenever the team needed him. "I always used to tell Sanju, 'Sanju, you don't know - sometimes in two or three days, an injury or form issue could come up, or even a combination issue may appear. So you ...
