PM Narendra Modi to hold 7 key meetings today
What's the story
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold seven key meetings on a variety of topics on Sunday following the conclusion of the Lok Sabha elections, government sources reported. His agenda includes a review meeting focusing on the post-cyclone situation in northeastern states, particularly assessing damage caused by cyclone "Remal." The back-to-back meetings occur a day after most exit polls suggested that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would win a majority in the Lok Sabha elections.

This year's theme is "land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience," with Saudi Arabia as the host country.

Prior to his election campaign, PM Modi had instructed the top bureaucracy to prepare for decisions to be taken in the first 100 days of his third term, stating that all tough decisions would be made during this period.
