Recently, Indian media came with fresh news of the Indian Army deploying Defence guns at the Golden Temple amid Operation Sindoor. On Monday, the Indian army itself denied the fake news. They made it clear that neither Air defence guns nor associated equipment have been placed on the grounds of Sri Darbar Sahib in Amritsar.
Lieutenant General D’Cunha had earlier given praise to the head granthi. He is the main priest of the most respected Sikh Temple in the world. He thanked him for allowing the army to place Air Defence cannons on the grounds of the Golden Temple in an interview with ANI.
“It was very nice that the head granthi of the Golden Temple allowed us to deploy our guns. It is possibly for the first time in many years that they switched off the Golden Temple lights so that we could see the drone coming.” Lt General D’Cunha said in the interview. He mentioned that in order to improve the identification and destroy the Pakistani Drones, the temple lights had been turned off for the first time ever in history.

Dhami made it clear that the Army officials had not communicated anything about the installation of defense within the complex.
