Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag on the Red Fort on the 79th Independence Day. He announced the launch of Mission Sudarshan Chakra, which is a modern defense initiative aiming to enhance India’s strategic, religious, and civilian sites from enemy attacks.
PM Modi explained that the system will use the latest technological tools to create a powerful, multi-layered shield around important locations across the country.
“In the next ten years, by 2035, I want to expand, strengthen, and modernize this national security shield. Drawing inspiration from Lord Shri Krishna, we have chosen the path of the Sudarshan Chakra…The nation will be launching the Sudarshan Chakra Mission,” he said.

The prime minister said that Mission Sudarshan Chakra will combine advanced technologies to monitor terror activities, counterattack capabilities and neutralize threats of land, air, and sea.
His remarks are in the light of India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 individuals. Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025 and targeted terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Indian Forces struck nine terror camps in Pakistan, killing over 200 terrorists. They hit 13 Pakistani military installations and airbases.
