NEW DELHI: Thirteen interceptor boats have been despatched to Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Goa, Lakshadweep and Puducherry to strengthen coastal security. Six more boats will be despatched soon. While reviewing the coastal security scheme and the delivery schedule of the interceptor boats, in a meeting on Thursday with the chiefs of Goa Shipyard and Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers, Kolkata, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram underlined the need to deliver the boats within a timeframe. The Minister also emphasised the need for deploying trained manpower, police personnel and crew members for proper upkeep and running of the boats. The Centre had undertaken a thorough review of the coastal security apparatus in the wake of the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai after it became known that the terrorists had taken the sea route from Karachi via Gujarat to reach Mumbai. He emphasised on the need for timely completion of all projects.
