Coastal security continues to face critical problems

Today marks 16 years since the 26/11 terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Despite the horrors of that fateful day, coastal security in Mumbai and across Maharashtra continues to face critical challenges.

Several speedboats deployed to strengthen security post-attack have been non-operational for several months. Reports indicate that some boats have been out of service since March 2024 because two maintenance operators have refused to continue work due to non-payment for more than two-and-a-half years.

Rs7 crore to Rs9 crore in dues remain unpaid. Of Mumbai's 23 speedboats, 14 are non-functional and gathering dust, leaving only nine operational, according to sources.
