INS Talwar seizes 940 Kgs of Narcotics
The attack on India is being launched not only by Terrorists with weapons and IEDs but also by flooding the streets with narcotics. It’s a continuous battle being fought 24×7.
A few days back the Sri Lankan Navy had seized a huge cache of narcotics aboard a trawler. Now INS Talwar, a stealth frigate of the Indian Navy has intercepted a dhow on Monday and apprehended 940 Kg narcotics from it.
The operation was executed with precision by the ship’s specialist boarding teams and MARCOs (Marine Commandos) which resulted in the confiscation of a staggering 940 kilograms of contraband narcotics from the suspicious dhow.
The seized drugs, indicative of illicit trafficking activities in the region, are being disposed of in accordance with the established procedures outlined in the Combined Maritime Force Standard Operating Procedures.
This successful interdiction underscores the relentless commitment of the Indian Navy as a key partner within the CMF framework to combat the menace of drug trafficking.
By disrupting the illicit trade networks, the Indian Navy and the Sri Lankan Navy reaffirm their dedication to fostering a drug-free neighbourhood, thereby contributing to regional stability and security.
As the Indian Navy continues to play a proactive role in safeguarding the maritime commons, its efforts in Operation Crimson Barracuda serve as a testament to its commitment to promoting a secure and stable maritime environment in the region.
