As an archipelago with vast coastlines, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands face constant threats from illegal activities such as smuggling, piracy, and infiltration. To counter these risks, the local police have adopted cutting-edge security measures, including AI-driven surveillance, drone monitoring, and increased coastal patrolling. These enhancements ensure better vigilance over the region’s maritime boundaries, deterring potential criminal activities. The deployment of high-speed patrol boats and radar-equipped observation posts further strengthens security.
Authorities have also launched inter-agency collaborations with the Indian Navy and Coast Guard to develop a seamless information-sharing network. This integration enables swift action against security breaches and ensures the protection of fishermen, traders, and tourists. Community awareness programs educate locals on reporting suspicious activities, making them active stakeholders in the region’s security framework.
