Odisha Coast Security Exercise Tests Coastal Defence Preparedness
Imagine the ocean around Odisha as a giant playground.
To keep everyone safe, the government held a special practice called 'Sagar Kavach-2.'
Many different groups, like the Navy, Coast Guard, and police, all joined in.
They practiced looking out for any bad guys trying to sneak in from the sea.
They used boats and patrolled the water, while others checked the land.
They also taught fishermen how to spot strangers or anything suspicious in the ocean and report it to the officials.
This exercise helps everyone work together quickly if there's ever a real problem, keeping the coast safe.
A two-day security exercise named 'Sagar Kavach-2' was conducted along the Odisha coast.
The exercise involved 18 Central and State government agencies.
The drill aimed to test and enhance coastal defense preparedness.

The exercise is designed to enhance surveillance and neutralisation capabilities against potential maritime threats.
