A first-of-its-kind Composite Indoor Shooting Range (CISR) was inaugurated by Vice-Admiral Biswajit Dasgupta, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command at INS Karna on the Eastern Seaboard.
The CISR is a state of the art, self-contained, 25 m, six lane, live firing range for all primary and secondary weapons in the Navy.
The range has been set up in conformity with contemporary international standards by an Indian firm and is said to be an example of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative in the year of ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’.
INS Karna is the first in the Navy and perhaps the only military unit in the country to set up and use a facility of this kind.
