He said the first dedicated Coast Guard jetty in Kochi would ensure seamless Coast Guard operations in the sea areas of Kerala and the Lakshadweep Islands. A press release said Kochi being strategically located demanded the Coast Guard’s presence in safeguarding India’s maritime interests. The new jetty would facilitate swift deployment of Coast Guard vessels.
