After 26 tourists were killed in a terror attack, PM Modi calls a Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting to review India’s security strategy.
The Cabinet Committee on Security is India's highest decision-making body on defence and national security matters.
The CCS is not mentioned in the Constitution but plays a central role in urgent security and defence decisions.
The Prime Minister heads the CCS and leads all discussions and decisions on national security.
Oversees defence policy, procurement, and armed forces coordination within the CCS framework.
Handles internal security, law and order, and coordinates with intelligence agencies.
Ensures financial planning and resource allocation for defence and security needs.
Manages international diplomacy and coordinates with global allies on security issues.
It frames national security policy, makes defence decisions, and leads anti-terror strategy.
After the Pahalgam terror attack, the CCS will decide how India responds to this grave provocation.
