Navy prepared for 'proactive response', Says Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Indian Navy has effectively carried out mission-based deployment to protect maritime interests by positioning ships and aircraft at major and sensitive locations, defence minister Rajnath Singh said on Wednesday, amid a tense border row with China.

In an address to top naval commanders at the inaugural session of a three-day conference, Singh also complimented the force for protecting the nation’s maritime interests and expressed confidence in its preparedness to meet any challenge through a “proactive response” in deploying its ships and aircraft, the navy said in a statement.

The conclave is aimed at carrying out a comprehensive review of the evolving regional maritime security matrix as well as the overall implications of the border row with China in eastern Ladakh. The Indian Navy has deployed a range of its frontline warships and submarines in the Indian Ocean region to send a clear message to China following the escalation of the border dispute in eastern Ladakh.
