**Mumbai, May 12, 2025** – Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis convened a high-level meeting today with top officials from the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force, alongside state government representatives, to discuss enhanced civil-military coordination in the face of escalating tensions with Pakistan. The meeting, attended by Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar, focused on improving intelligence sharing, leveraging technology, and strengthening preventative measures.
CM Fadnavis lauded the recent success of Operation Sindoor, a military operation against Pakistan, highlighting its precision and impact. He emphasized the critical importance of Mumbai, India’s financial capital, as a potential target and stressed the need for heightened vigilance, particularly in cybersecurity. He stated that the state government will work closely with the defence forces to establish a faster, more efficient coordination mechanism.
The CM also acknowledged Pakistan’s history of proxy warfare, despite the military’s decisive response in Operation Sindoor, which he claimed effectively neutralized numerous Pakistani air bases and terrorist training camps. The meeting underscores the seriousness of the current situation and the proactive measures being taken to ensure the security of Maharashtra and India.
