The Indian Navy successfully concluded its biannual joint amphibious exercise ‘Jal Prahar’ in collaboration with the Indian Army along the eastern coast, enhancing inter-service synergy and operational readiness for coastal missions. The exercise, held from September 16 to 23, comprised two phases: a Harbour Phase, where Army personnel received training aboard INS Gharial, and a Sea Phase, which involved operational execution, including amphibious landings at Kakinada. This drill underscores India’s commitment to improving joint operational capabilities and coordination between its armed forces, particularly in maritime operations, which is crucial for national security amid evolving geopolitical challenges in the region.
