Addressing a virtual gathering during the inauguration of the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow, the Defence Minister asserted that the operation sent a clear message\u2014terrorists and their backers are no longer safe, even beyond India\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"707\" data-end=\"1189\">\u201cWhenever India acts against terrorism, even the land across the border becomes unsafe for those who shelter terrorists,\u201d Shri Singh said, referencing previous operations such as the surgical strikes after Uri, the airstrikes following Pulwama, and now the coordinated military actions in response to the Pahalgam attack. He emphasized the Modi government\u2019s \u201czero tolerance\u201d stance on terrorism and praised the armed forces for delivering justice to victims of cross-border attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1574\">Shri Singh also criticized Pakistan\u2019s retaliation during the operation, noting that while Indian forces targeted terrorist infrastructure with precision, Pakistan attempted to strike civilian areas including temples and churches. \u201cOur forces responded with restraint and strength,\u201d he said, adding that strikes extended as far as Rawalpindi, home to Pakistan\u2019s military headquarters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1574\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1523\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9643.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9643.jpeg 323w, https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_9643-214x300.jpeg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1959\">The Defence Minister\u2019s remarks came during the inauguration of a key defence infrastructure project\u2014the <strong data-start=\"1680\" data-end=\"1731\">BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre<\/strong>\u2014built over 200 acres in Lucknow as part of the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor (UPDIC).

The centre, developed with an investment of approximately \u20b9300 crore, will house facilities for assembling booster subassemblies, avionics, ramjet engines, and propellants. It is also expected to create around 1,500 jobs and support the skilling of local youth in defence technologies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2386\" data-end=\"2573\">Shri Singh quoted former President Dr. A.P.J.

He also highlighted the strides UP is making in defence manufacturing, with the UPDIC attracting \u20b94,000 crore in actual investments so far and 180 MoUs signed, totaling a proposed investment of \u20b934,000 crore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2980\" data-end=\"3235\">The Chief Minister commended the partnership between the central government and the state in promoting <em data-start=\"3083\" data-end=\"3098\">Make-in-India<\/em>and <em data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3124\">Aatmanirbhar Bharat<\/em>, and lauded the facility\u2019s potential to prevent migration by generating local employment and upskilling youth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3237\" data-end=\"3634\">The event was attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brijesh Pathak, Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh, DRDO Chairman Dr. Samir V.
