The Impressive TimesNew Delhi, April 23 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi was swiftly briefed on the evolving situation in Jammu and Kashmir following the recent Pahalgam terror attack as soon as he arrived in New Delhi early Wednesday morning. His return to the National Capital came after a successful bilateral meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah.
Upon landing, PM Modi immediately convened a high-level security meeting to receive a detailed briefing from key national security and diplomatic officials. The Prime Minister was informed about the alarming developments in Pahalgam, where the terrorist attack had caused significant loss and raised serious concerns about the security situation in the region.
The meeting, which took place at the Prime Minister’s Office, was attended by External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, and several senior officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and intelligence agencies. Dr. Jaishankar and NSA Doval provided PM Modi with an in-depth analysis of the attack and its potential ramifications. They discussed ongoing efforts by security forces to neutralize any remaining threats in the area and prevent further escalation.
The Pahalgam terror attack has once again highlighted the fragile security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, with the region continuing to be a hotspot for terror activities despite years of counter-insurgency efforts. The attack in Pahalgam, a popular tourist destination, is seen as an attempt to destabilize the region and undermine the ongoing peace efforts.
As part of the emergency response, PM Modi immediately ordered the convening of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), which will meet in the coming days to review the situation in detail. The CCS, a crucial body responsible for making decisions on national security matters, is expected to deliberate on measures to bolster security and enhance counter-terrorism operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Prime Minister’s meeting with senior officials underscored the government’s commitment to dealing with the ongoing security challenges and ensuring that the perpetrators of the Pahalgam attack are swiftly brought to justice. The central government has also assured the people of Jammu and Kashmir of continued support and reinforced its resolve to combat terrorism in the region.
The developments come at a time when the security forces are already on high alert in the region, and efforts are underway to strengthen intelligence-sharing mechanisms between various security agencies. In addition to the immediate security concerns, the government is also focusing on humanitarian efforts to assist the victims and their families, with relief measures being coordinated through local authorities.
In the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, the government is likely to step up its diplomatic and security efforts, engaging with international partners to combat cross-border terrorism and ensure that such attacks are prevented in the future. PM Modi’s call for an emergency meeting reflects the gravity of the situation and his dedication to safeguarding national security.
