The Indian Navy has launched the fifth edition of its coastal defence exercise, Sea Vigil-26, from November 11 to 19, covering the entire coastline and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The exercise, coordinated by the Indian Navy, involves multiple central and state agencies, including the Indian Coast Guard, Coastal Security Police, Customs, and other maritime agencies. It also includes fishing and coastal communities. The exercise is significant for Mumbai, which remains a key coastal security location following the 26/11 terror attacks. Sea Vigil-26 will be conducted in two phases: the Coastal Defence and Security Readiness Evaluation (CDSRE) from November 11 to 17, followed by the Sea Phase on November 18 and 19. The exercise aims to test the maritime security architecture and identify gaps in the existing coastal security arrangements.
