Hindustan Times
|May 01, 2025
AN OFFICER SAID THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE THE TENURE OF THE EXISTING BOARD ENDED. NSAB MEMBERS ARE APPOINTED FOR A TERM OF 2 YEARS
The government on Wednesday reconstituted the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) and appointed former Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) chief Alok Joshi as its chairman, people familiar with the matter said.
The move comes even as India works towards a targeted military response to the Pakistan-sponsored terror strikes in Pahalgam, Kashmir, last week, the people added.
Other members in the revamped NSAB include, former Western Air Commander Air Marshal PM Sinha, former Southern Army Commander Lt Gen AK Singh and Rear Admiral (retd) Monty Khanna. Two retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, Manmohan Singh and Rajiv Ranjan Verma and a retired Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer, B Venkatesh Verma also have been included in the new board, the people cited above said.
