Top Level Meeting on Security Begins at PM Modi’s Residence, Day After J&K Terror Attack
The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) met on Wednesday at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in Delhi, just a day after a horrific terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed the lives of at least 26 tourists. The meeting was attended by top government officials, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval.
The meeting comes as India is grappling with the aftermath of the terror attack, which is believed to have been carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists. The attack, which occurred on Tuesday evening, saw a group of terrorists storm a tourist bus in Pahalgam, killing and injuring several people.
According to reports, the meeting was held to discuss the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and to review the measures being taken to prevent such attacks in the future. The CCS is a high-level committee that is responsible for reviewing and formulating the country’s security policy.
Shah, who returned from Jammu and Kashmir this evening, is believed to have briefed the CCS about the situation on the ground and the efforts being made by the security forces to track down the terrorists involved in the attack. Singh, who is also the Minister of Defence, is expected to have discussed the military’s response to the attack and the measures being taken to enhance the security of the region.
Doval, who has been instrumental in shaping India’s security policy, is likely to have focused on the intelligence gathering and sharing aspects of the attack, as well as the potential implications of the attack on India’s security.
The meeting is seen as a significant development in the aftermath of the terror attack, which has sent shockwaves across the country. The attack has once again raised questions about the effectiveness of India’s security apparatus and the need for more robust measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
The Jammu and Kashmir terror attack is the latest in a series of incidents that have highlighted the growing threat of terrorism in the region. In recent years, there have been several attacks on tourists and security forces in the region, which has led to a significant increase in security operations in the area.
The attack has also sparked widespread condemnation from across the country, with political leaders and citizens alike expressing outrage and shock at the senseless violence. The attack has also led to calls for more stringent measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
In the aftermath of the attack, the government has announced a high-level inquiry into the incident, which is expected to identify the lapses that led to the attack and recommend measures to prevent such attacks in the future.
The CCS meeting is seen as a critical step in the government’s efforts to address the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and to prevent such attacks in the future. The meeting is expected to lay the groundwork for a more comprehensive approach to tackling terrorism in the region, which includes improved intelligence gathering, enhanced security measures, and a more robust response to terrorist attacks.
As the country grapples with the aftermath of the terror attack, the CCS meeting is a critical step in the right direction. The government’s commitment to addressing the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and to preventing such attacks in the future is essential to restoring confidence in the region and to ensuring the safety and security of all citizens.
