Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, a crucial meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) is underway at the Prime Minister’s residence to assess the West Asian situation and its potential impact on India.
The meeting is being attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, along with several senior ministers.
Union ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Manohar Lal Khattar, Ashwini Vaishnav, Sarbananda Sonowal, JP Nadda, Hardeep Puri, Prahlad Joshi, Piyush Goyal and Ram Mohan Naidu are also present.
Focus On Energy And Essential Supplies
Discussions are centred on reviewing decisions taken during the previous assessment, with a key focus on energy security. The government is evaluating measures to increase the availability of piped natural gas (PNG), ensure uninterrupted LPG supply and maintain adequate fertiliser availability.
Strategy To Mitigate Impact
With the ongoing crisis, the government is working to ensure that energy supply and essential resources remain unaffected. The meeting is also considering future strategies to manage any potential disruptions.
