Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday (May 7, 2025 ) declared Red Alert in view of the action taken by the Indian Army on terrorist hideouts under Operation Sindoor.

All field formations of Uttar Pradesh police have been instructed to coordinate with defence forces and strengthen security of important installations, reads statement issued by U.P. Director General of Police (DGP).

In retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes early Wednesday on nine terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad stronghold of Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba’s base Muridke.

“Red alert has been declared in Uttar Pradesh in view of the action taken by the Indian Army on terrorist hideouts under #OperationSindoor. All field units of @Uppolice have been instructed to coordinate with the defense forces and strengthen the security of important installations,” UP DGP Prashant Kumar said from his ‘X’ handle.

“UP Police is alert, equipped with resources, and fully prepared to ensure the safety of every citizen of the state. Jai Hind!,” he added.
