A press release by the Indian Coast Guard said here on Monday that the main objective of the exercise is to provide seamless seaward cover along the Karnataka coast. The exercise will also assess the effectiveness of the fishing community as ‘eyes and ears’ for early warning of seaward threats.

The exercise will be supervised by the Karnataka government and conducted and coordinated by the Karnataka Headquarters of Indian Coast Guard at Panambur in New Mangalore.
