The Indian Navy on Saturday said it is on high alert and prepared to defeat and deter any seaborne threat with full force.
Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff Murlidhar Pawar said that coastal security measures have been stepped up and forces are keeping a tight vigil to thwart any misadventure by anyone.
The comments came in the backdrop of the Government’s decision to revoke special status to Jammu & Kashmir and split the state into two Union Territories. “Navy is on high alert...We are prepared to defeat, deter everyone of them (state-sponsored terrorists). Any misadventure by anyone will be met with all the force, “ Pawar told reporters on the sidelines of an event.
