PM Modi to chair high-level CCS meeting on Wednesday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to chair a high-level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Wednesday, sources from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) confirmed. This meeting comes amid increasing national and geopolitical challenges, and is expected to focus on crucial security-related developments.

The CCS is India’s apex body for discussions on matters pertaining to the country’s defense, foreign affairs, and internal security. The upcoming session is anticipated to include key discussions on border management, strategic threats, and ongoing counter-terrorism operations.

Senior ministers, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar are likely to be present at the meeting. National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and top officials from intelligence agencies and the armed forces will also brief the committee.

The CCS meeting is being convened at a time of heightened activity along India’s northern borders. Recent reports of cross-border tensions and drone activity have prompted the need for enhanced vigilance and strategic assessment.

Another major agenda point is believed to be the review of internal security measures ahead of upcoming festivals and elections in several states. Cybersecurity threats and developments in neighboring regions may also be discussed.

The meeting is expected to evaluate the effectiveness of recent military and intelligence operations and chart out further measures to bolster national defense capabilities.

Sources indicate that discussions will also touch upon India’s defense preparedness and modernization efforts, including procurement and deployment of critical defense equipment.

This high-level engagement underlines the Modi government’s continued focus on national security, especially in light of the evolving geopolitical environment.

Experts believe that the outcomes of the CCS meeting could influence India’s foreign policy and security strategies in the coming months.

The meeting reaffirms Prime Minister Modi’s proactive stance in addressing national security concerns and maintaining India’s strategic autonomy in global affairs.

A formal briefing from the PMO is expected post-meeting to highlight the key resolutions and directives issued.
