In the backdrop of the ever-deepening Pakistan- China Military and strategic nexus, PM Manmohan Singh on Wednesday held a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) to take stock of the security situation in India and its extended neighbourhood.
The need to rapidly modernize the Indian armed forces, with special focus on development of military capabilities on the eastern front with China, as well as the turmoil in the Af-Pak region is understood to have figured in the meeting. Defence minister A K Antony, finance minister Pranab Mukherjee home minister P Chidambaram national security advisor Gopal Pillai and the three Service chiefs, among others, participated in the meeting.
The three-tier NSC consists at the apex level of Cabinet ministers, headed by the PM, with subordinate entities like the Strategic Policy Group, the Joint Intelligence Committee and the National Security Advisory Board.
As reported earlier by TOI, India is now taking steps to counter China's massive build-up of military infrastructure all along the 4,057-km Line of Actual Control (LAC).
They range from deployment of Sukhoi-30MKIs and spy drones in the North-East to the raising of two new mountain infantry divisions (over 35,000 soldiers), with their HQs in Zakama (56 Div) in Nagaland and Missamari (71 Div) in Assam.
