PM Modi Lauds AdityaL1 Success At Police Top Brass Meet, Praises Navy For Foiling Hijack Bid

Addressing the DGP conference in Jaipur, the prime minister also highlighted Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s recent achievement in placing India's first solar observatory – Aditya L1 – in its definitive orbit, enabling uninterrupted observation of the Sun's atmosphere.

“In the last couple of days, the Indian Navy executed a courageous mission. On receiving intel about a merchant vessel facing a hijack threat in the Arabian Sea, they covered a distance of 2000 km to rescue the ship. The Indian Navy, alongside Marine Commandos, successfully safeguarded 21 crew members including 21 Indians,” PM Modi said during the event.

“Many of you must have seen the footage where, following their rescue by the Indian Navy from the attempted hijack, the crew members were chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai',” Modi added.
