Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the nation at 8 pm today.
The address comes days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire after four days of tense military stand-off in the wake of 'Operation Sindoor' launched by Indian security forces against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan.
The address comes even as director general military operations (DGMO) of both India and Pakistan are scheduled to have a telephone conversation.
Earlier in the day, PM Modi chaired a high-level meeting with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, NSA Ajit Doval, Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and all three service chiefs.

The prime minister has been chairing regular meetings with ministers, service chiefs and other top government functionaries involved in the country's military and diplomatic response to the Pahalgam terror attack of April 22.
On Sunday, government sources said Modi had instructed the armed forces that the country's response to every action by Pakistan should be more forceful.
Following Operation Sindoor, the PM told the armed forces that bullets must be responded to by artillery (Wahan se goli chalegi, toh yahan se gola chalega), news agency PTI quoted defence sources as saying.
