Cabinet likely to meet today in unusual move-in 2024

The Cabinet is set to meet today in an unusual move. This meeting comes after the Lok Sabha election dates were announced, as reported by The Times of India.

While the exact agenda for the meeting hasn’t been revealed, sources from ToI suggest that important topics may be discussed. These include talks about a trade deal with Oman and possibly increasing the Line of Credit to $250 million for Iran’s Chabahar port.

Last week, a high-level committee met to discuss ways to improve the Line of Credit. Talks about the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with Oman, which have been ongoing for months, were supposed to happen in the previous meeting, but no decision was made.

With the ‘model code of conduct’ in effect, the government is limited in making policy decisions. However, discussions regarding international relations are still happening. Any announcements must be approved by the Election Commission (EC).

During a recent meeting of ministers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed the importance of not neglecting governance during the election process.
