Sagar Kavach-2 Drill Tests Coastal Security on East Coast
Imagine a big practice game to keep the coast safe!
It's called Sagar Kavach-2 and it's happening on the east coast.
Lots of groups like the Navy and police are working together.
Some people pretend to be bad guys trying to sneak in, while others try to catch them.
They're checking how well everyone works together and if they can spot any problems.
This helps make sure everyone is ready for anything that could happen at sea.
It is a yearly practice to keep the coast safe.
