NEW DELHI, Nov 8:
Amid continuing Pakistani shelling along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reviewed the security situation with chiefs of Army, Navy and Vice Chief of Air Force here.
National Security Adviser Ajit Doval was also present at the meeting, officials said.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister is understood to have taken stock of the situation along the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border where Pakistan has been regularly shelling military posts as well as civilian areas.
Army chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag is believed to have briefed Modi on the situation and how the forces are handling the Pakistani provocation.
Significantly, the meeting came on a day when one more jawan was killed in Pakistani shelling in Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today took stock of the security situation in the country, especially along the Indo-Pak border where unprovoked shelling from across the border have been continuing.
At the hour-long meeting, senior officials briefed the top Ministers about the prevailing situation along the International Border (IB) and Line of Control (LoC) and Kashmir Valley, where unrest has been continuing ever since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen militant Burhan Wani on July 8.
Sources said in the last few days, the Pakistani firing towards Indian posts and civilian areas were restricted only along the LoC and there have been uneasy calm along the IB.
A detailed presentation about the overall security situation in the country was presented before the meeting, sources said.
