Following the successful execution of Operation Sindoor, the Border Security Force (BSF) has proposed to name a post in the Samba sector as "Sindoor" and two others in the name of the personnel killed during the cross-border shelling by Pakistan on May 10. Speaking on the issue, BSF IG Jammu Frontier Shashank Anand said that three jawans, including an Indian Army Naik, were killed in fighting the cross-border shelling.
