◆PM briefed on India's military preparedness
【NEW DELHI】Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday received a secret briefing at the Army's war room on India's military preparedness along the eastern and western borders.
 The routine security briefing happens at the prime minister's Race Course Road residence every month. However this time he decided to go to the Army's war room situated in the South Block of Raisina Hill, New Delhi, sources in the Prime Minister's Office told Deccan Herald.
 Besides the prime minister, Defence Minister A K Antony and Army chief Gen Bikram Singh were present at the briefing given by senior officers from the Directorate of Military Operations. But Defence Ministry and Army officials were tight-lipped about details of the unusual conference in the South Block.
 Incidentally, Singh was given the briefing a day after the Army's elite Strategic Forces Command (SFC) successfully launched a nuclear-capable Prithvi missile. "The aim of this exercise was to validate our readiness by undertaking launches in various contingencies," a spokesperson of the SFC said on Tuesday.
 Launch of the Prithvi missile – inducted into the SFC in 2003 to strengthen India's nuclear deterrence – from Chandipur was part of a scenario-based live launch training exercise.
