The CCS also examined challenges faced by Indian travellers transiting through affected areas and students scheduled to appear for examinations, along with the wider impact on regional stability, trade, and economic activity.
Directing all relevant departments to take necessary and practical steps to support Indian nationals impacted by the developments, the Committee emphasized the need for an immediate de-escalation and a swift return to dialogue and diplomatic engagement.
