India launches 'Operation Raksha'

19 Oct, 2009

India has launched 'Operation Raksha' along the Gujarat coast for looking out suspected terrorists to avert another Mubmai-style attack. The operation has been launched after receiving reports from intelligence agencies on the movement of terrorists towards the Gujarat coast to carry out Mumbai-type attacks, media reports quoting Defence Ministry sources said.
More than 10 ships have been deployed for the search operations in the Arabian Sea off the Gujarat Coast by the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard. During the operation, which has been going on for over a fortnight now, the suspected ships moving towards the Gujarat coast are being searched, the sources said.
