India plans to renew its offer to extend the coastal surveillance radar systems (CSRS) project to the island neighbour, Maldives as part of the defence cooperation dialogue, reports The Times of India on January 21. This dialogue takes up from the defence cooperation agreement signed with former president Abdulla Yameen in 2016. However, as relations between New Delhi and Male iced over, Yameen refused to allow the installation of Indian radars, preferring to turn to China. Sources said the CSRS has is being offered to other countries as well, which will contribute in creating a network of information to aid maritime domain awareness (MDA) in the Indian Ocean region. Maldives’ Defence Minister Mariya Ahmed Didi due to visit India on her first tour this week.

Indian Navy on January 22, started the biggest search operation exercise to hunt for militants aiming to attack India through sea route similar to the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) attacks in Mumbai, reports The Tribune. The two-day exercise is part of an unprecedented exercise, named Operation ‘Sea vigil’, which will test and validate India’s coastal security architecture set up after the attack on Mumbai. Involved in these search operations will be the Navy, Coast Guard, Customs, marine Police and State Police forces, warships, helicopters, fast-attack crafts and a chain of radars set up all along the coast, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and satellites. The National Command Control Communication and Intelligence Network with the Information Management Analysis Centre at Gurugram will also be taking part in the exercise. A total of 51 nodes of the Navy and Coast Guard are integrated—all will provide comprehensive maritime domain awareness. The exercise will be undertaken along the entire 7,516-km coastline and exclusive economic zone. NDTV further adds that according to Navy officials, nearly 150 ships, 40 aircrafts and a number of other strategic assets of the Navy and Coast Guard have been deployed as part of the 'Sea Vigil' exercise which is "unprecedented" in its scale and size.

Maldives has begun installing the Coastal Radar Surveillance System (CSRR) donated to the Maldives by the Indian Government, reports Maldives Times on February 4. Chief of Defense Force of Maldives, Major-General Abdulla Shamaal confirmed the installation of the radar system is now in progress.

Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) on February 7 revealed that the establishment of Coastal Surveillance Radar Systems (CSRS) under Indian aid is ongoing since its inception in 2005, adding that Indian Military personnel will not be monitoring the operations, reports The Edition. The Chief of Defence Force, Major General Abdulla Shamaal stated that the radar systems should have been established earlier. Major General Shamaal noted that, as Maldives is located in a hotbed for illegal activity, the high-level surveillance systems would contribute towards averting such crimes. Addressing assumptions that India may demand that their military personnel should oversee operations of the radars, Vice Chief of Defence Brigadier General Abdul Raheem Abdul Latheef disclosed that Indian military would only be involved in the installation process. “Right now there are three pre-installed operational radars. A total of 10 radars will be installed. Indian military will have no involvement in operating, maintaining or overseeing these radars once they are installed”, Vice Chief of Defence further guaranteed.

Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Coastal Security Group (SCG), K. VanniyaPerumal on on April 25 reviewed security after Marine police of SCG, Indian Coast Guard (ICG) and Indian Navy took additional measures in the aftermath of the serial bomb blasts in Sri Lanka, reports The Hindu. Mr. Perumal, who reviewed the security arrangements at the Marine police station in Danushkodi, said he was fully satisfied with the arrangements. Security had been tightened in the entire coastal regions of Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Pudukottai, Ramanathapuram and Thoothukudi districts and no case of infiltration was reported in the last four days. There was coordinated action among the Marine police, ICG, navy, district police and other agencies and there was no cause for any alarm. The intelligence network also functioned well and provided useful tip-offs. The intelligence inputs were being shared with other security agencies.Asked about marine police hiring fishing vessels for patrolling, Mr. Perumal said the government had sanctioned 3.5 crore for repairing marine police boats and another 4.5 crore for buying new high speed boats. Nine jetties, each at a cost of 15 lakh, were being built for the marine police to berth and maintain the vessels.

Nearly 10% of mock attacks launched during India’s largest ever coastal security exercise in January 2019 were successful in breaching the multilayered defenses, three officials with knowledge of the matter said on condition of anonymity, reports Hindustan Times on May 8. “It is still possible to sneak in despite a massive infrastructure upgrade,” said one of the officials.The two-day exercise – Operation Sea Vigil – was simultaneously undertaken on the eastern and western coast to check coastal safety measures put into place after the November 2008 Mumbai attacks.The officials said small boats, which are less that 20 metres in length, and are yet to get Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) remain a primary cause of concern. An AIS automatically provides information about a vessel to other ships and to coastal authorities. India has about 250,000 such small boats, according to figures available with the Indian Navy.The potential threat from smaller rogue boats is likely to be addressed as a satellite-guided friend or foe identification system of the Indian Space Research Organisation with a two-way messaging system in all local languages is finally ready for induction within the next three or four months.The system was successfully tested on about 1,100 smaller fishing boats in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry recently. “The transponders will be inducted soon,” a second official said.The ill-equipped maritime police forces of coastal states are also a cause of concern for the Indian Navy, which is the lead agency for coastal security. “Serviceability [or availability of boats] is as low as 50%,” said a third official.Only half the boats are available when required and policemen posted to the state maritime police wings get shifted after two to three years. “Sea training starts all over again,” said the second official cited above.The Navy has suggested to state police forces to enlist sailors, who are about to retire, to man their maritime wings. “Instead of training a new batch of policemen every three years, superannuating sailors could be inducted into the state maritime police forces,” the second official said. The third official, who is also involved in analyzing Operation Sea Vigil, blamed lack of adequate training, motivation and non-availability of boats with state maritime police wings for the success of mock attacks.

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on May 21 apprehended a Pakistani fishing vessel off Gujarat and seized 200 kg heroin, worth 600 crore in the international market, reports The Hindu. According to Additional Director General K. Natarajan, Coast Guard Commander (Western Seaboard), late on May 20 received intelligence input from the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and other agencies that a Pakistani fishing boat was to deliver narcotics off Gujarat and that it was to be received by an Indian boat. The ICG swiftly diverted its ships to effect interception of the boat. In the early hours of May 21, one of the Coast Guard ships intercepted the Pakistani fishing boat Al-Madina off Jakhau in the Arabian Sea. “Despite evasive manoeuvres carried out by the crew of Al-Madina and rough sea conditions, it was successfully intercepted within Indian waters. During the hot pursuit, the crew threw bags containing suspicious material into the sea. The Coast Guard team, upon boarding the vessel, took the crew into custody and retrieved the material,” Mr. Natarajan said. “On initial checking 195 packets containing 200 kg of heroin has been found. The Pakistani vessel crew are being subjected to interrogation and rummaging is being carried out by various agencies,” Mr. Natarajan said.

A multi-agency probe involving Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Customs and India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) has begun on suspicion of narco-terrorism soon after six Pakistan nationals were arrested in high sea off Gujarat coast from a fishing boat from Karachi, reports Times of India on May 25. This incident was earlier reported by South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP) on May 22. In a simultaneous operation, three Pakistani and three Nepali nationals were arrested in Kathmandu with Rs 7.6 crore in fake Indian currency notes (FICN) of Rs 2000 denomination. “Those arrested included FICN kingpin Yunus Ansari,” said a senior DRI official. Ansari is known to have links with India’s most wanted don Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistan intelligence agency ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence) and has been responsible for running FICN network from Nepal. He is also suspected to have links with proscribed Pakistani terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) that has been responsible for several bomb blasts in India. Son of a former Cabinet minister of Nepal Saleem Mia Ansari, Yunus was arrested twice earlier in 2010 and in 2014 based on DRI information for circulating FICN. “In the last few months, maritime route in the Indian Ocean has been exploited by the international organised narcotic smuggling syndicates for trafficking drugs. The other sensitive route has been India-Pakistan border in J&K where DRI had made seizure of heroin and arms and ammunition in a joint operation with Indian army last year,” a senior DRI official said.
