The Southern Naval Command (SNC) will organise a slew of programmes in the run-up to Navy Day observance on December 4.
It was on this day, during the Indo-Pak War of 1971, in a decisive blow to the enemy, missile boats of the Indian Navy launched a daring attack on the Karachi harbour, paralysing the entire coastal defence apparatus of Pakistan.
To commemorate this historic day and in consonance with the theme of the Navy Week 2023 — ‘Indian Navy- Combat Ready, Credible, Cohesive and Future Proof’ — the SNC will host various events including an operational demonstration by naval ships and aircraft in the Ernakulam channel, a military photo exhibition, musical concert/philharmonic orchestra by the Navy Band at Naval Base, outreach to Veer Naris and veterans, medical camps, blood donation camp, services to orphanages and old age homes, visit to naval ships for schoolchildren, special children, and senior citizens.
