- Coordinate with state authorities and ground-level agencies
Ministries were asked to undertake a comprehensive review of their operational preparedness. Modi stressed the importance of a “whole-of-government” approach, urging all departments to stay alert and maintain clear communication channels throughout the current sensitive period.
The meeting also served as a platform for strategic alignment, where Secretaries detailed their action plans to ensure emergency response readiness and uphold continuity of essential services.
