Threats to Navy has increased: Navy Chief Admiral RK Dhowan
On Wednesday, Navy Chief Admiral RK Dhowan said there has been an increase in threats from the sea but added that the Indian Navy is prepared to tackle it.
Dhowan said the situation is very very serious and India has taken a note of this. In September, Al-Qaeda militants tried to hijack PNS Zulfiqar, a Pakistani Navy frigate, to target USA's anti-terrorism vessels patrolling in the northwestern Indian Ocean.
Dhowan said terror threat is the real challenge.
The Navy chief also said India is closely monitoring efforts made by China in developing port infrastructure.
Dhowan said human error led to the sinking of submarine named Sindhurakshak in Mumbai in August last year, killing 18 personnel.
