Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : Days after halting Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7 following the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian Army is now reportedly exploring a strategy to rebalance its forces along the border with Pakistan. According to a report by The Indian Express, this move aims to reduce potential friction along the international boundary.
Meanwhile, Pakistan is also reportedly planning to return its forces to positions held before the April troop mobilization, signaling a mutual step toward reducing military presence in sensitive areas.
Military Preparedness Remains High
Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified during a national address that Operation Sindoor is only paused, not terminated. The Indian military remains on high alert, with operational readiness and elevated security alerts still in place.
Unlike Pakistan’s large-scale troop movements and buildup of military equipment near the international border, India made limited adjustments. Select units and gear were temporarily relocated to operational zones but are now expected to revert to their original bases, according to the same report.
Troop De-escalation Measures Under Consideration
Both nations are now focusing on building mutual trust, with talks reportedly underway to reduce troop numbers and military assets along the border over the next two weeks.
During the height of Operation Sindoor, India's troop levels increased primarily due to canceled leaves and restrictions on non-essential activity. However, these measures have been eased. Additionally, short-term training activities that were on hold are scheduled to resume.
