Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) on security, a day after India carried out surgical strikes at 7 terror launch pads across the Line of Control.

Chief Ministers of various states expressed their support to the Central government and the Indian Army for conducting out surgical strikes. However, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti expressed grave concern over the escalation of the situation along the border in Jammu and Kashmir.

Cautioning the Centre, Mufti said, "The confrontation could lead to a "disaster of epic proportions if urgent steps are not taken to bring down the heightened tensions in the region. New Delhi and Islamabad must open the channels of communication realising the dangerous consequences of any escalation of ongoing confrontation along the borders."
