Indian Army To Get 12 Fast Boats To Patrol In Pangong
The Indian Army is going to buy 12 high performance patrolling boats from Goa Shipyard Ltd. These patrolling boats will be deployed at Pangong Lake in Ladakh. There has been a situation of confrontation between India and China in Ladakh since May last year. With the arrival of these patrol boats, India’s strength to keep an eye on China’s antics will greatly increase.
The special thing is that the Indian Army has entered into an agreement to purchase these patrolling boats from the Goa Shipyard Ltd.
