PM seeks security of sea lanes

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that India's initiative to forge working cooperation among navies of the Indian Ocean region is of 'paramount importance'. He said that the move will prove beneficial in tackling threats of terrorism from the seas.

He said high level of trade and economic growth was being witnessed in the region, which dictated the need to ensure safety and security of the sea-lanes.

Pointing that recent years had seen rise in crimes like terrorism, piracy and smuggling of narcotics and ammunitions in the ocean region, the Prime Minister emphasized on the need for cooperation among the navies of the littoral states to prevent these transnational crimes.''The perpetrators of these crimes are well organised and well-funded transnational syndicates who take full advantage of the vastness of oceans''

I prefer watching NDTV 24x7 as it is India’s most respected news channel and the news coverage is ‘to the point’ unlike other news channel where every news is a breaking news. No other news channel covers Indian news stories the way NDTV 24x7 does.

The experience only improves as I have subscribed to DirecTv.

There are absolutely no interruptions as DirecTV delivers a digital signal 99.9% of the time. I also ordered a high-speed Internet connection with the service.

The most important benefit is that my cable & internet bills have reduced.
