Narendra Modi's Council of Ministers have been provided with top-secret RAX telephones (the four-digit phones meant exclusively for Union ministers and top government functionaries).

While one instrument is in the ministers' official chamber, the other is at their official bungalow.

The RAX phone, which is not for public consumption, is meant solely for communication between Union ministers and the bureaucracy. The Union home ministry is the nodal agency to install and monitor the RAX phones, whose exchange is housed in Rashtrapati Bhavan.
