New Delhi, April 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to preside over the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on Wednesday morning, making it the second such huddle after the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack, which shook the entire nation and countrymen.

Key Points

1

Modi reviews national security after Pahalgam terror incident

2

CCS meeting to discuss diplomatic and strategic response

3

High-level ministers including Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah attend

4

India considers further actions against Pakistan

A total of 26 people, including a Nepali national, were killed on April 22 while they were on holiday in the green meadows of Pahalgam's Baisaran valley.

The CCS meeting is likely to take place around 11 a.m.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, among others, will attend the high-level meeting.

It is likely to be followed by a Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs meeting, reports said.

The second CCS meeting in a week comes a day after Defence Minister Singh met PM Modi at the latter's Lok Kalyan Marg residence in the capital.

In the meeting that lasted about 40-50 minutes, Union Minister Singh is understood to have briefed PM Modi on the possible key decisions that India could take against Pakistan to "punish it for its deeds".

In the first CCS meet chaired by PM Modi on April 23, a day after the Pahalgam carnage, India took a slew of measures against Pakistan. India announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, the shutdown of the Attari border, the cancellation of visas of Pakistani nationals, the blockade of many of its YouTube channels and X handles, and downgrading the diplomatic ties with Pakistan by downsizing the already truncated staff in embassies, thereby forcing them back to their country of origin.

While I support firm action, I hope the government also considers the long-term economic impact of these measures. Some of these decisions might hurt ordinary people on both sides more than the actual perpetrators.

Does anyone else feel like these meetings should have happened sooner? The first CCS meeting was good but we need sustained action, not just reactions after tragedies.

Suspending the Indus Waters Treaty is a bold move. Hope our government has considered all the diplomatic and environmental implications carefully.

My thoughts are with the victims' families. No policy decision can bring back their loved ones, but I hope these measures prevent other families from suffering similar losses.
