Question

Important of andaman and nikobar and lakshdweep

Answer 1

ANSWER

•The islands of the Lakshadweep archipelago will receive increased strategic attention as India expands its maritime horizons, in both the western and eastern theatres of the Indian Ocean.

•The islands offer the same advantages for India’s naval diplomacy as do the

Andaman Islands, to the east.

•Along with the new naval base at Karwar on India’s west coast, they will be used to project India’s command of the sea in the western Indian Ocean.

•The island group will receive increased attention because of its proximity to the energy-rich western Indian Ocean, despite the fact that it could require a re-allocation of relatively scarce resources.

•It is possible that Lakshadweep, along with the Southern Naval Command in Kochi, could be converted into a Tri-Command facility.
