The Odisha Police's Coastal Security Wing organized the 'State Level Coastal Security Conference 2026' in Bhubaneswar. Inaugurated by DGP Yogesh Bahadur Khurania, the event focused on challenges and solutions for protecting Odisha's 574.7 km coastline. Currently, 18 marine police stations with over 700 personnel are operational, supported by interceptor boats and drones. Future plans include adding 10 more boats, anti-drone systems, and modular jetties. Tools like the 'NABHAMITRA' app are being used to track fishing boats, emphasizing coordination between various agencies and the fishing community for enhanced maritime safety. https://sambad.in/state/coastal-security-conference-12000820 #creator program
