Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday met Air Chief Marshal AP Singh and is understood to have discussed operational preparedness and the current security situation in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

Earlier on Saturday, Navy chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi informed the PM about the forces' readiness. Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi is set to meet Modi soon.

Within the armed forces too, there have been a flurry of meetings and top-level discussions on the steps taken by Pakistan since last month's deadly attack on tourists.
