    NEW DELHI: “The world saw India’s strength (duniya ne humari takat dekhhi),” PM Narendra Modi said as he addressed the Union Council of Ministers on Wednesday about Operation Sindoor’s success.“The PM said it took us only 25 minutes to demolish the terror infrastructure Pakistan built over decades as part of its policy to use terrorism to hurt India,” a source said referring to the precision strikes on the intervening night of May 6 and 7 to destroy the headquarters and important facilities of Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Hizbul Mujahideen.Modi said the conflict with Pakistan also showed the changed nature of war. “There was no movement of tanks, artillery and soldiers, and our armed forces acquitted themselves well in this new kind of warfare,” the source quoted the PM as saying.The conflict figured only briefly during the interaction that lasted almost four hours and saw the PM urging ministers and top bureaucrats to stop comparing the works done in the past 11 years with that of the UPA. “He pitched for bigger aims and the need to fulfil them, said every product and infrastructure project must meet global standards and that we should set our new goals and achieve saturation,” an official said.Officials said the PM also asked ministers to visit aspirational blocks and spend at least 24 hours.During the discussion on the roadmap for ‘Viksit Bharat’, Modi said some ministries will soon shift to the new Common Central Secretariat (CCS) buildings along the Kartavya Path. “He said in the initial phases there may not be enough space for ministers and officers and they need to keep their ego aside. Once all the buildings are complete, there will be enough space for all,” said a source.The message came amid the plan to shift the first set of offices from North Block to the new buildings and amid the govt’s challenge to find enough space as demanded by ministries and departments.Sources said during the meeting, health secretary Punya Salila Srivasatava made a detailed presentation on obesity, with focus on reducing intake of edible oil by 10%, a call given by PM earlier. In the presentation, she shared the estimated number of obese people in India by 2035 and how the problem is more in urban areas and among children going to private schools, sources said.
