High Alert On Borders: NSA Ajit Doval Briefs PM Modi After ‘Operation Sindoor’

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday morning to brief him on the escalating situation along India’s western frontier following Operation Sindoor.

The meeting, held at the Prime Minister’s residence, lasted nearly an hour and covered strategic developments after India’s pre-dawn precision strikes on terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

Following Doval’s briefing, the Union Home Secretary also met the Prime Minister, indicating an intensified focus on national security.

Civilian Toll & Border Response

The meeting comes in the wake of continued ceasefire violations by Pakistan, which have tragically claimed the lives of 13 civilians- all in Jammu and Kashmir’s Poonch district- and left 59 others injured.

The shelling, seen as retaliatory and indiscriminate, has further strained the already volatile situation along the Line of Control (LoC).

As a result, a high alert has been issued across India’s western borders.

Authorities in Rajasthan and neighbouring states have sealed border areas, cancelled government staff leaves, and temporarily closed schools and educational institutions.

Additionally, authorities have closed airspace in several western cities until 10 May as a precautionary measure.

Military Preparedness In Full Swing

India’s defence apparatus remains on maximum alert.

Security forces have activated a multi-layered air defence system, deployed frontline warships in the Arabian Sea, and placed infantry units along the border in full readiness mode.

These measures underline India’s resolve to respond decisively to any future provocations.

All-Party Meeting Convenes

Concurrently, the Centre convened an all-party meeting at 11 AM to brief political leaders on the nature and scope of the tri-service military operation carried out on Wednesday morning.

The government detailed the strategic objectives, targets struck, and India’s non-escalatory approach.

Operation Sindoor: Precision & Restraint

India launched 24 precision missiles during a 25-minute strike window- from 1:05 AM to 1:30 AM, targeting nine high-value terror facilities, including Lashkar-e-Taiba’s headquarters in Muridke and key training camps in Bahawalpur.

These locations have long been identified as hubs for cross-border terrorism.

The government clarified that the operation was a proportionate response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 civilians, including a Nepali national.

India issued a formal statement emphasising that it did not target any Pakistani military facilities and reiterated that the action remained ‘focused, measured, and non-escalatory’.

With continued ceasefire violations and civilian casualties, India’s political and military leadership remains unified in its approach.

PM Modi’s engagement with security chiefs and the opposition underscores a coordinated national response to a complex and evolving threat landscape.
