Prime Minister Narendra Modi chairs Cabinet Committee on Security meeting
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently chaired a high‑level meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) in Delhi to review India’s preparedness and response measures amid the escalating West Asia crisis involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.
The CCS convened to assess the evolving security, energy, and economic implications for India, especially in light of US‑Israel airstrikes on Iran and subsequent regional escalations. The government is particularly concerned about the safety of a large Indian diaspora in Gulf countries and the impact on global supply chains.
Key issues discussed
-
Review of India’s security posture and contingency plans, including military and diplomatic responses.
-
Measures to ensure uninterrupted flow of petroleum products, LNG/LPG, fertilisers, and power supply to domestic consumers and industries.
-
Coordination across ministries on agriculture, shipping, aviation, logistics, and MSMEs to mitigate disruptions arising from the West Asia conflict.
The meeting was held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in New Delhi (7, Lok Kalyan Marg), with senior ministers including Defence, Home, External Affairs, and Finance, along with key security and intelligence officials present. This marks one of several CCS meetings Modi has presided over in recent weeks to manage the fallout of the West Asia crisis.
