CCS, Cabinet meetings begin in Parliament; PM Modi chairs key meetings

PM Narendra Modi reviews economic measures, fuel security, and assesses India's preparedness amid the West Asia conflict in key cabinet meetings.

"The conflict in West Asia will have significant short, medium and long-term impact on the global economy - Official Release"

New DelhI, April 18

The CCS meeting begins at Parliament House, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi chairing it in the national capital on Saturday.

Prime Minister Modi will chair the cabinet meeting in the national capital to review measures taken by various ministries and departments.

He will also address the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) at Parliament later in the day.

Earlier on April 1, PM Modi chaired a special meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security and discussed further initiatives to be taken in the context of the ongoing West Asia conflict.

Cabinet Secretary briefed about the action taken to ensure supply of petroleum products, particularly LNG/LPG, and sufficient power availability, an official release said.

Prime Minister assessed the availability of critical needs for the common man. He discussed the availability of fertilisers in the country and steps being taken to ensure their availability in the Kharif and Rabi seasons.

The situation escalated in West Asia after a joint US-Israel military strike on February 28 on Iranian territory resulted in the death of its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other senior figures, prompting a fierce response from Tehran.

The conflict in West Asia will have significant short, medium and long-term impact on the global economy and its effect on India was assessed, and counter-measures, both immediate and long-term, were discussed.

A detailed assessment of availability for critical needs of the common man, including food, energy and fuel security, was made. Short-term, medium-term and long-term measures to ensure the continued availability of essential needs were discussed in detail.

The impact on farmers and their requirement for fertiliser for the Kharif season was assessed. The measures taken in the last few years to maintain adequate stocks of fertilisers will ensure timely availability and food security. Alternate sources of fertilisers were also discussed to ensure continued availability in the future.

It was also determined that an adequate supply of coal stocks at all power plants will ensure no shortage of electricity in India.

Ensuring no power shortage and adequate fertiliser for Kharif season is the need of the hour. Global conflicts affect us more than we realize. Timely meetings like these are important for stability.

While the focus on essentials is appreciated, I hope these meetings also translate to concrete action on the ground. We've heard about "assessments" before. The real test is whether fertilizer prices stabilize for my father who is a farmer in Punjab.

As someone living in Delhi, the assurance on power and LPG supply is a relief, especially with summer approaching. The geopolitical situation is worrying, but it's good to see planning is happening at the highest level.

Discussing alternate sources for fertilisers is a smart, long-term move. We cannot be dependent on volatile regions. Jai Kisan! 🙏 Hope the benefits reach them directly without middlemen inflating costs.

The article highlights how interconnected the world is. A conflict far away impacts fuel and food security here. Proactive cabinet meetings are crucial in such times. The focus on common man's critical needs is the right priority.
