Amid continuing Pakistani shelling along the border in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday reviewed the security situation with Chiefs of Army, Navy and Vice Chief of Air Force in New Delhi.

National Security Adviser Ajit Doval was also present at the meeting.

During the meeting, the prime minister is understood to have taken stock of the situation along the Line of Control and International Border where Pakistan has been regularly shelling military posts as well as civilian areas.

Army Chief Gen Dalbir Singh Suhag is believed to have briefed Modi on the situation and how the forces are handling the Pakistani provocation.

Significantly, the meeting came on a day when one more jawan was killed in Pakistani shelling in Jammu and Kashmir.
