The 5th meeting of IGoM was held today to review the existing risks to energy supply chains and domestic availability of essential commodities in the wake of the conflict in West Asia. The Government under the leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi has been doing commendable work in ensuring supplies of all essential commodities. I urge the people to remain calm and avoid any kind of panic as the government is taking concrete steps to prevent shortages or disruptions in supply chains. PM Shri Modi’s appeal for collective participation of the people to help the country face global disruptions and challenges is going to be a significant step towards self-reliance and ensuring energy security. It is PM’s broader message about conservation during a difficult global period.

Around 600 IAF & Army personnel joined the relay run. The route passed key Delhi landmarks, supported by civil authorities & volunteers, showcasing teamwork & public engagement 🤝@hqwaciaf @pro_defence @PRODefPune @PRODefRjsthn @PRODefDehradun @PROdefprayagraj @prodefencejammu
