In response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Indian government has revamped the National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) and appointed former RAW chief Alok Joshi as its new chairman. The reorganization of the NSAB is seen as a strategic step to reinforce India's national security framework, with a renewed focus on addressing cross-border terrorism and regional security challenges. 

Alok Joshi, who previously led India's external intelligence agency, will now spearhead the board, bringing a wealth of experience to the table. The move comes in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, which resulted in the tragic loss of 26 civilian lives, further underscoring the need for a robust security advisory mechanism. 

This restructuring also includes experts from various sectors, including former senior military, police, and diplomatic officers, ensuring a well-rounded approach to India's national security concerns. The reshuffle reflects the government’s commitment to addressing emerging security threats while strengthening the nation's defense and intelligence apparatus. 

The decision to overhaul the NSAB was made shortly after a high-level meeting convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, upon returning from an overseas visit, gathered senior security officials to discuss the response to the attack and outline steps for improving national security.
