The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a Cabinet Committee on Security meeting on Thursday to discuss the West Asia crisis, The Hans India reports. The two-hour meeting, attended by defence, home, external affairs and finance ministers, reviewed supply chains through the Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The Hans India says officials confirmed this was the fourth such CCS meeting on West Asia. The Cabinet Secretary briefed on steps to ensure energy security, including diversified LPG sources and adequate crude stocks. Fertiliser supplies for the Rabi season were assessed, with Modi directing uninterrupted availability. The Prime Minister also ordered a mechanism for timely information and counselling for Indian seafarers in conflict zones.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that the government is either panicking or neglecting the crisis misses the point. This was the fourth CCS meeting on West Asia, indicating calibrated attention. The diversification of LPG sources and assurance of adequate stocks show preparation, not alarm. But the real test will be whether fertiliser supplies reach farmers on time this Rabi season without price spikes.
