Bengaluru, May 10 (Reporter) Karnataka Home Minister Dr G Parameshwara said on Saturday Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has convened a high-level meeting to assess the internal security situation in light of ongoing Operation Sindoor and war-related rumours circulating on social media. Speaking to reporters here, Dr Parameshwara said the meeting will take stock of the state's preparedness measures and examine the necessary steps to be taken as per the advisory issued by the Government of India.
