Top Level Meeting on Security Begins at PM Modi’s Residence, Day After J&K Terror Attack
In the wake of a devastating terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that claimed the lives of at least 26 tourists, the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) convened for an emergency meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in Delhi. The meeting, which took place on Wednesday, was attended by key government officials, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval.
The CCS meeting comes as a response to the brazen terror attack that occurred on Tuesday evening, when a group of terrorists targeted a tourist bus in Pahalgam, killing 26 people and injuring several others. The attack has sent shockwaves across the country, with the government and security agencies springing into action to contain the situation and prevent further attacks.
According to sources, the CCS meeting was convened to discuss the current security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and to deliberate on the measures needed to prevent such attacks in the future. The meeting is expected to cover a range of topics, including the law and order situation in the state, the role of intelligence agencies, and the need for enhanced security measures to protect civilians and security personnel.
Home Minister Amit Shah, who returned from Jammu and Kashmir this evening, is expected to brief the CCS on the ground situation and the steps being taken to prevent future attacks. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is also likely to share his inputs on the security situation, while NSA Ajit Doval is expected to provide insights on the intelligence gathering and sharing mechanisms in place.
The CCS meeting is seen as a critical step in the government’s efforts to tackle the growing menace of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The state has been facing a surge in terrorist attacks in recent months, including the killing of several security personnel and civilians. The government has been under pressure to take decisive action to contain the situation and restore normalcy in the state.
In the wake of the Pahalgam attack, the government has already taken several steps to strengthen security in the state. These include the deployment of additional security personnel, the enhancement of intelligence gathering and sharing mechanisms, and the implementation of strict security protocols to protect civilians and security personnel.
The CCS meeting is also expected to discuss the need for intelligence sharing between various agencies and the need for enhanced coordination between the Centre and the state government to tackle the terrorist threat. The meeting is seen as a critical step in the government’s efforts to prevent future attacks and to restore normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Pahalgam attack has once again highlighted the need for sustained efforts to tackle the terrorist threat in Jammu and Kashmir. The government has been working closely with security agencies and other stakeholders to prevent such attacks, but more needs to be done to address the root causes of terrorism and to prevent future attacks.
The CCS meeting is expected to provide a platform for key government officials to discuss the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir and to deliberate on the measures needed to prevent future attacks. The meeting is a critical step in the government’s efforts to tackle the growing menace of terrorism and to restore normalcy in the state.
