Home Secy discusses security roadmap with IB, RAW chiefs

Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan on Thursday held a high-level security review meeting with Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director Tapan Deka and Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) chief Ravi Sinha amid concerning situations emerging in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, said sources.

Though the meeting agenda wasn't officially disclosed, the sources said the deliberations assumed significance due to the presence of top security and intelligence functionaries, which indicated that discussions took place with regard to key national security or internal affairs matters.

The sources also indicated that since the meeting took place a day after the government announced decisions taken by the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the top security and intelligence brass must have deliberated on the plans with regard to special internal security measures.

Announcing the CCS decisions last evening, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, downgrading bilateral ties and shutting down the Attari check-post.
