Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday chaired a crucial meeting of the Union Council of Ministers. The meeting focused on security strategy, national development priorities, and intensified public outreach. It also marked the first collective ministerial review following Operation Sindoor, launched by India targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The meeting also comes as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is set to complete 11 years at the Centre and reflect on the first year of the Modi 3.0 administration, following a victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in June 2024.
PM Modi took to X, where he posted pictures from the meeting with the ministers, and wrote: “Chaired a meeting of the Council of Ministers earlier this evening.”
