Following the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired crucial meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) and Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) — the first such "super cabinet" meeting since the 2019 Pulwama attack. The government granted the armed forces complete autonomy to determine the timing and nature of any retaliatory actions. Key decisions included suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, closing the Attari border, and revamping the National Security Advisory Board with ex-RAW chief Alok Joshi appointed as its new head. Tensions with Pakistan remain high. (PC: India Today)
