Bhubaneswar, Nov 30: A two-day joint coastal security exercise, “Sagar Kavach” started off Odisha coast i.e. from Gopalpur to Chandipur. Sources said, as many as 18 departments of Centre & State government are taking part in the exercise to assess the effectiveness of the coastal security organization. It will run for two days, with red and green forces being formed to infiltrate and prevent attacks. This year for coastal security the exercise was named “Sagar Kavach”. Sagar Kavach aims to check the Coastal Security Mechanism and validate Standard Operating Procedures. Worth mentioning, the 1993 Bombay Bombings and the 2008 Mumbai Attacks occurred due to the poorly guarded maritime border. The terrorists entered the country via the sea route. To counter the challenges emanating from the border, there is a need for robust coastal security.
