Summary:
For better transmission of air assets, the coastal guards are also planning to deploy Ratnagiri air station apart from existing Daman and Mumbai air stations,” a coastal guards spokesperson said. Coastal guards have also taken a serious note of increasing self-reliance, and to reduce dependence on other agencies. “Since 26/11, we have executed a Phase-I including 18 radar stations for surveillance on the western coast. We can say that there is absolutely no shortage of funds when it comes to coastal security, and neither we can compromise with it. A decade since 10 terrorists from Pakistan created havoc across the city, the Coast Guard personnel claim they are fully equipped to handle and tackle all such incidents today, and can ensure coastal security is a matter of national importance..
