The visit underscores the ongoing collaboration between Indian naval forces and legislative authorities to strengthen the country’s maritime security framework, ensuring a robust defense posture in the Indian Ocean Region.
Shri Milind Deora, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, recently visited the Headquarters of the Western Naval Command (WNC) where he engaged with the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief (FOCINC) and other naval officers.
During his visit, he was comprehensively briefed on the national maritime interests, the various challenges faced in the region, and the efforts of the Indian Navy to bolster maritime security.
The Hon’ble MP also toured a naval ship and a submarine, gaining firsthand insight into the operational capabilities and the strategic roles of these assets.
This visit highlighted the Navy’s advanced technological and operational readiness and provided a closer look at the day-to-day activities that ensure the security of India’s maritime borders.
Shri Deora expressed his appreciation for the Indian Navy’s pivotal role in national security. He specifically noted the significant strides the Navy has made towards becoming ‘Aatmanirbhar’ (self-reliant) through indigenization and innovation in defense technologies.
This push towards self-reliance not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to the broader national objective of reducing dependency on foreign military technology.
