The Indian Navy has conveyed to the state government the lacuna in its coastal security during a meeting involving various agencies of the state last month, the top official of the Western Naval Command said on Friday. Vice Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Western Naval Command headquartered in Mumbai, said this while replying to a question on the shortage of boats on the part of the state government for coastal security.
Tripathi said last month he and the Maharashtra Chief Secretary held a review meeting on coastal security along with the state Home Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP). Officials of the state intelligence, anti-narcotics cell and coastal security police also attended the meeting, he said.
