Explanation

Coast Guards serve a dual purpose - conducting search and rescue operations to save lives at sea (emergency service), and enforcing maritime laws including anti-smuggling operations, border security, and environmental protection. The Indian Coast Guard was established in 1978 with these comprehensive responsibilities. Neither 'rescue only' nor 'anti-smuggling only' captures the full scope.
