The Indian Navy is set to enhance its operational capabilities with the commissioning of INS Jatayu at the Minicoy islands in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep, marking a significant advancement in bolstering security infrastructure in the broader area. Against the backdrop of its strategic significance, the commissioning ceremony, overseen by Chief of the Naval Staff Adm R Hari Kumar on March 6, 2024, marks the dawn of a new era in naval operations.
