The exercise was aimed at enhancing coastal security by simulating real-life security threats, such as hijackings, smuggling, and IED threats. The operation involved multiple agencies, including the Navy, BSF, CISF, and local police, working in coordination to refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and improve inter-agency collaboration. This comprehensive drill focused on strengthening India's preparedness against potential maritime threats.
