National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday to brief him on the evolving security situation along the western border following Operation Sindoor—a targeted strike carried out by Indian armed forces early Wednesday against terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan.
The meeting, held at the Prime Minister’s residence, lasted for nearly an hour, according to sources cited by IANS. Shortly after, the Union Home Secretary also met the Prime Minister for a detailed assessment of the ground situation.
The high-level briefings come amid heightened tensions, with Pakistan resorting to heavy shelling and repeated ceasefire violations along the Line of Control (LoC), particularly affecting the Poonch district in Jammu and Kashmir.
In response, Indian security forces have ramped up preparedness across the western frontier. The border with Pakistan in Rajasthan has been sealed, and a multi-layered air defence network has been fully activated. Several frontline warships have been deployed in the Arabian Sea, while infantry units along the LoC remain on high alert.
Authorities have cancelled leaves of government personnel in sensitive regions, shut down schools and educational institutions, and imposed airspace restrictions in several western cities through May 10.
Earlier in the day, the Centre convened an all-party meeting at 11 a.m. to brief political leaders on the objectives and outcomes of Operation Sindoor. Leaders were also updated on the broader strategic implications and India’s readiness to counter any retaliatory moves by Pakistan.
