The meeting, held at the Prime Minister’s official residence, was attended by senior ministers, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as heads of intelligence and paramilitary forces.
Reviewing the current situation—particularly in Jammu and Kashmir and other sensitive border areas—Prime Minister Modi reiterated his government’s unwavering resolve to combat terrorism. He gave security forces a “free hand” in their operations, assuring them of the government’s full backing.
“I have full faith in the capabilities of our brave forces. They have always risen to the occasion and will continue to do so,” the Prime Minister said during the closed-door meeting, according to top sources.
