Explanation

With China's growing presence in Indian Ocean, India has beefed up maritime surveillance near Malacca Strait. To improve India's Intelligence, Surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, India will deploy P-8 and strike aircrafts at Andaman and Nicobar Islands as most commercial ships pass through Six Degree Channel and Malacca Strait. This will also address a host of maritime security concerns as diverse as illegal fishing, drug and human smuggling, and terrorism.
