Prime Minister Narendra Modi held an important meeting with top officials to review how the ongoing conflict in West Asia could affect India.
The meeting, held under the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), mainly focused on ensuring that essential supplies like fuel, fertilisers, and electricity remain stable in the country.
Focus on Essential Supplies
During the meeting, the government checked whether India has enough:
- Fuel (like LPG and oil)
- Fertilisers for farming
- Electricity supply
Officials said steps are being taken to make sure there are no shortages or sudden price increases.
Steps Taken by Government
The government is working on several measures:
- Finding new sources for fuel imports
- Ensuring fertiliser supply for upcoming crop seasons
- Increasing coal supply to maintain electricity
- Monitoring prices to avoid inflation
They are also taking action against hoarding and black marketing of essential items.
Protecting Citizens from Impact
PM Modi stressed that all departments must work together to:
- Protect people from the effects of the global crisis
- Maintain smooth supply of essential goods
- Provide correct information to avoid panic
Why This Meeting is Important
The conflict in West Asia can affect global supply chains, especially oil and fertilisers. Since India depends on imports, the government is taking early precautions to avoid problems in the future.
