00:00In just a short while, about 6.30pm, even as the conflict in West Asia continues to go on,

00:06but there is a concern, and that concern is about the impact on India.

00:11So the government of the centre is moving ahead to one reassure, but also coordinate a unified response.

00:17There has to be a plan B ready, just in case the war continues and can impact our citizens.

00:23So the all eyes will be on Prime Minister Modi's big review meeting.

00:26Prime Minister Modi, I'm told, is going to be interacting with the Chief Ministers via video conferencing at 6.30pm.

00:32Why? To assess how prepared are we, what is the Team India approach,

00:37and the Chief Ministers of election-bound states, however, will not be present, which are primarily opposition states.

00:45Mamata Banerjee from Bengal, Pinarai Vijayan, Kerala, M.K. Stalin, Tamil Nadu, N. Rangasami,

00:51and also Himanta Biswasarma from Assam.

00:54We'll have to skip the meeting, the Model Code of Conduct is in place.

00:56So a separate review meeting with the Chief Secretaries will be held via the Cabinet Secretariat.

01:02What's on agenda then?

01:04How prepared is India? How prepared are the state governments?

01:07A coordinated national response will have to be ready, ensuring a uniform strategy across all states.

01:15This time, it will not be about politics, political bickering.

01:17We have to be on the same stage to ensure, if at all, the situation worsens.

01:21We are in it as one.

01:23That also means, apart from that one basic uniform approach to mitigate the crisis,

01:29the crackdown on the hoarding, the panic buying of the LPG cylinders,

01:34that remains a big concern in many parts of the country.

01:37Reviewing safety and security measures, especially for Indian residents living in the Gulf region,

01:42all of that will be part of the agenda meeting at 6.30pm.

01:46We'll break that live for you.

01:47Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju has confirmed that

01:50the reports of a lockdown are completely false and misleading.

01:55In the past few days, you must have noticed or perhaps wondered it yourself

01:58if you are heading into a COVID-like lockdown

02:01and what India could look like in the days to come.

02:04The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is assured,

02:06energy supplies are stable,

02:07no shortage of petrol, diesel or LPG for now.

02:10But also adding that panic-driven claims are unfounded

02:15and do not fall for this rumour-mongering.

02:18I also want you to listen in to what Minister Ardeep Singh Puri has said.

02:22He has put out an elaborate statement

02:23and what other ministers are saying.

02:25Listen in.

02:38This is why we will be prepared, we will be prepared, we will be prepared, we will be prepared.

02:46And this is why we will be prepared, we will be prepared, we will be prepared, we will be prepared.

03:06गल्फ और आस्पार्स के शिपिंग रूस पर निरंतर नजर बनाए हुए है आने वाले समय में ये संकट हमारे देश

03:17की बड़ी परिक्षा लेने वाला है और इस परिक्षा में सभलता के लिए राज्यों का सहयोग बहुत आवशक है राज्य

03:28सरकारों को एक और चुनोती पर �

03:31भी बहुत अधिक ध्धान देना होगा ऐसे समय में काला बाजारी करने वाले जमाखोरी करने वाले बहुत एक्टिव हो जाते

03:43हैं जहां से भी ऐसी शुकायते आती हैं वहां तर परीद कारवाई होनी चाहिए जहां तक डिप्लोमसी की बात है

03:53भारत की भूमी का सपस्ट है

04:01गहरी चिंता अव्यक्त की है

04:04मैंने स्वयम भी

04:05पस्चिम एश्या की

04:07सभी संबलित नेताओं से बात्चित की है

04:10मैंने सभी से

04:12तनाव को

04:13कम करने और

04:15इस संगर्ष को खत्म करने का

04:17आग्रह किया है

04:19इस युद्ध के कारण

04:20दुनिया में जो कठीन हालाद

04:23बने हैं उनका प्रभाव

04:25लंबे समय तक

04:27बने रहने की आश्यंका है

04:29इसलिए

04:31हमें तयार रहना होगा

04:33हमें

04:35एक जुड रहना होगा

04:37हम करोना के समय भी

04:39एक जुडता से

04:41ऐसी चुनोतियों

04:43का सामना कर चुके हैं

04:46अब हमें फिर से उसी तरह तयार रहने की आश्यक्ता है

04:51I am surprised

04:53that some leaders

04:55are saying things like

04:57there will be a lockdown

04:58and there will be shortages of LPG

05:02shortages of diesel and so on

05:04these are absolutely

05:06baseless and

05:07remarks such as these coming from

05:10leaders in political domain

05:12is really worrisome

05:14instead of keeping people together

05:16in confidence and giving them

05:18the assurance that the central government

05:20and state governments are working together

05:22and ensuring supply

05:24without any disruption

05:25for people because these are essential goods

05:28there are some leaders

05:30who are going about saying

05:31there will be lockdown and so on

05:34these are absolutely baseless

05:36there shall be no such lockdown

05:38like the time when we saw it all in COVID

05:41but no lockdown
