The Indian Navy on Wednesday said its ships and aircraft remain “mission deployed” for maintaining enhanced surveillance and undertaking maritime security operations.
“In the last one week, Indian naval task groups deployed in the area have investigated large number of fishing vessel and boarded vessels of interest,” it said.
The Navy substantially enhanced maritime surveillance efforts in view of recent incidents of attacks on commercial ships, including that of the drone attack on MV Chem Pluto around 220 nautical miles south west of Porbandar last month.
