New Delhi:
Top commanders of the Indian Navy will meet on Tuesday to review the security situation in and around the country amid growing instability in the region.
Regime change in Bangladesh and the growing influence of radical extremist groups there is one of the emerging security concerns expected to be discussed at the meeting. Another key concern is China's increasing military activities and support for Pakistan.
The meeting will be held at the new Naval Headquarters in Delhi from September 17 for four days, defence officials were quoted as saying by news agency ANI. It will be the first conference since Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi took over as Chief of the Naval Staff in April this year.
The announcement comes after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's recent call to defence forces to be prepared for the unexpected at the Joint Commanders' Conference in Lucknow.
The meeting will also discuss the creation of new theatre commands.
The Admiral has instructed all commanders to maintain high operational readiness at all times.
The Navy will also review its operations in the Gulf of Aden, where it had much success against pirates and drone attacks earlier this year.
The force holds its Commanders' Conference twice a year, where all senior officers provide input and presentations.
