It is the primary responsibility of every organisation afloat and ashore, also of every individual of the Eastern Naval Command in ensuring on sea going platforms remain combat ready at all times, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Sunil Lanba said.
Admiral Lanba reviewed a Ceremonial Parade held in his honour at INS Circars Parade Ground here on Monday. He inspected a 50 men Armed Guard, and reviewed the platoons of Naval and DSC personnel drawn from various ships and establishments of the Command. Flag Officers and Commanding Officers of various ships and establishments of Eastern Naval Command were present on the occasion.
Complimenting the officers and men for their very smart drill and immaculate turnout, Admiral Lanba said he can feel the pride, confidence, high morale and josh in the faces of all personnel of the Eastern Naval Command. “ENC is not only our Eastern shield, but also our Eastern punch. It has shaped a favourable maritime environment in countries around the Bay of Bengal and South East Asia, extended a helping hand in times of crises and also deterred those with ill intentions towards our Nation,” he said and emphasised that Eastern Naval Command is the pride of the Indian Navy on the Eastern Seaboard.
Later, Admiral Lanba held discussions with Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief ENC Vice Admiral HCS Bisht and was briefed on the activities of the Command. Thereafter, the Admiral interacted with Defence Civilians and addressed officers and sailors of the Command.
President Navy Wives Welfare Association Reena Lanba interacted with the executive committee and ladies of the organisation, and will be visiting NWWA Library, the Day-Care Centre, Cuddles and NWWA Kendra.
