Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan stated that Operation Sindoor compelled Pakistan to hastily enact constitutional amendments and restructure its higher defense organization. He indicated these changes, including abolishing the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and creating a Chief of Defence Forces role, acknowledge shortcomings exposed during the operation. Chauhan noted this centralizes significant military power, potentially creating internal challenges and reflecting a land-centric mindset. He also briefly touched upon India's ongoing joint theatre command reforms.
