Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday chaired the third meeting of the Informal Empowered Group of Ministers, set up to closely monitor the evolving situation in West Asia.
The high-level meeting reviewed measures to ensure the uninterrupted availability of essential commodities and to safeguard Indian citizens amid rising regional tensions.
The minister also assessed preparedness in response to the rapidly changing situation in the region.
Earlier, during the second meeting held on April 3, the Group had emphasised the need for round-the-clock monitoring as the West Asia conflict continues to unfold.
