India to launch Sudarshan Chakra Mission, announces Modi on Independence Day
Indian PM Narendra Modi on Friday announced that the country will launch Mission Sudarshan Chakra, a defence initiative to protect the country's strategic and civilian sites.

He announced during his Independence Day speech at the Red Fort.
"In the next ten years, we are going to expand, strengthen, and modernise this national security shield," he said in his Independence Day speech.
"The nation will be launching the Sudarshan Chakra Mission," Modi said, making reference to the Hindu God Lord Krishna's weapon Sudarshan Chakra.
Speaking on the mission elaborately, Modi said using cutting-edge technology, the country will ensure the safety of our strategic installations, our cities, and our sacred places.
PM Modi made the remark just months after India and Pakistan were engaged in a conflict following the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam city that left 26 people killed.
Responding to the Pahalgam attack, India launched Operation Sindoor to target terror bases in PoK and Pakistan.
