Pahalgam Terror Attack: PM Modi Meets Air Force Chief After Army, Navy Briefings

Pahalgam Terror Attack: The Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, in Jammu and Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley has left India reeling. Twenty-five innocent tourists and a local youth were gunned down by four terrorists. An act that has been widely condemned across the country. While the nation grieves, the government has moved swiftly, initiating high-level security consultations and outlining a clear strategy to respond to the threat.

PM Modi’s Security Briefings

Following the attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized national security first and foremost. Following exhaustive briefings from the Indian Navy and Army, PM Modi then spoke with Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Vivek Chaudhary to determine aerial preparedness. And prospective future strategic considerations.

The conference is viewed as part of a larger initiative to ensure that all three branches of the Indian Armed Forces are on the same page when it comes to counter-terror operations and cross-border threat management. Every service chief has laid out detailed reports on preparedness, intelligence, and retaliatory options.

Air Power at the Forefront of India’s Strategy?

Reports show that talks with the Air Force were focused on surveillance enhancement. Quick response steps, and the possibility of pre-emptive strikes in case intelligence suggested more possible threats. Deployment of fighter aircraft in strategic border areas and air cover in sensitive regions of Jammu and Kashmir. They are under consideration. Reports say.

This follows mounting evidence from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) that is pointing towards Pakistan’s ISI involvement in planning the attack. India’s military leadership seems to be considering a broad spectrum of possibilities ranging from precision air strikes to intelligence-based operations.

A Message of Strength and Unity

The Prime Minister’s meeting with the top military leadership sends a strong message. India is ready to respond firmly and unitedly. It is also intended to assure citizens that all steps are being taken to keep the country safe and justice is being done to the victims of the attack on Pahalgam.
