On the eve of India’s 79th Independence Day, Major General Sandeep S. Sharda, ADG of Strategic Communication, received the Yudh Seva Medal—the third-highest wartime honour—for exemplary leadership in information warfare during Operation Sindoor. He spearheaded a team that swiftly issued verified updates, countered misinformation in real time, and synchronised messaging across platforms, amplifying operational impact. A standout symbol of the campaign was the Operation Sindoor logo—featuring the first “o” as a vermilion bowl—designed by Lt Col Harsh Gupta and Havildar Surinder Singh, debuting on 7 May with “Justice is served. Jai Hind!” and earning commendations for its cultural resonance and strategic messaging. (PC: X)
