National Security Advisory Board (NSAB)

In response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian government has restructured the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB).

Former R&AW chief Alok Joshi has been appointed as the new Chairman.

The revamped seven-member board includes former military leaders—Air Marshal PM Sinha, Lt General A.K. Singh, and Rear Admiral Monty Khanna—as well as retired IPS officers Rajiv Ranjan Verma and Manmohan Singh, and retired IFS officer B. Venkatesh Varma.

The NSAB, comprising national security experts, advises the National Security Advisor (NSA).
