In a heartfelt tribute to the Indian Army’s recent action against Pakistan—Operation Sindoor—families in Uttar Pradesh’s Kushinagar district have named 17 newborn girls ‘Sindoor’.
Dr. R.K. Shahi, Principal of Kushinagar Medical College, stated on Monday that 17 girls were born at the facility between May 10 and 11, and all of them were named Sindoor by their families as a mark of respect for the Army’s decisive response.
Archana Shahi, a resident of Kushinagar, said, “Many women lost their husbands in the Pahalgam attack. Following that, the Indian Army carried out Operation Sindoor successfully. ‘Sindoor’ is no longer just a word, it’s an emotion. That’s why we named our daughter Sindoor.”
