Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his address from the Red Fort on 79th Independence Day, announced that India will launch Mission Sudarshan Chakra to develop a powerful weapon system aimed at thwarting any attempts by enemies to attack the country.

He also stated that the government will use the latest technological tools to secure strategic, civilian and religious places across the country.

“We have chosen the path of Lord Krishna’s Sudarshan Chakra. For the security of the country and its citizens, we will continue to upgrade our capabilities. Speaking from the Red Fort, I assure you that in the next 10 years, whether it is a place of strategic importance, a civilian area, or our centres of faith, we will build a ‘Rashtriya Suraksha Kavach’ to withstand any attack," he said.
