Defence Minister Rajnath Singh reviews border security with top military brass

New Delhi: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi outlined a new normal for the country's tough anti-terror policy, Union defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday reviewed the security situation with top officials and the chiefs of forces.

Discussions revolved around maintaining high vigil despite a pause in hostilities between India and Pakistan after 'Operation Sindoor', said an official source. The defence minister reviewed the security situation along the western border during the meeting at South Block.

The high-level security meeting was attended by the Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi, Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh and Vice Chief of the Air Staff Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari.


The minister congratulated the armed forces for the operation that struck terror hubs and eliminated 100 terrorists in Pakistan and also destroyed its defence facilities when it "attacked India instead of joining our war against terror".
