The third edition of 'Sea Vigil-22' began on the eastern seaboard from November 15 as part of the country-wide coastal defense exercise.
This exercise was conceptualised in 2018 to validate various measures that have been instituted towards enhancing the maritime security since the 26/11 Mumbai attack, said a release issued by the Eastern Naval Command (ENC).
This exercise will be undertaken along the 7,516 km coastline of the country, covering the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of India.
