Indian cost guard(ICG)
Ever since the 1960's, the Indian Navy had been
requesting the Government of India for setting up an auxiliary service
for Maritime Law Enforcement and undertaking "Safety and Protection"
tasks in Indian waters. Deployment of sophisticated and high-value naval
warships and assets was clearly not an optimal alternative for these
tasks. In due course, this logic of the Navy was accepted by the
Government, especially due to the fact that by the early 1970's, three
other important factors contributed to the rationale for the early
institution of a 'Coast Guard' service.
Sea-borne smuggling across the seas was rampant and
threatened the nation's economy. The existing maritime agencies such as
the Customs and the Fisheries Department did not have the capability to
contain this large scale smuggling activity, and intercept illegeal
vessels even within territorial waters. Against this backdrop, the 'Nag
Committee' was setup in 1970, to examine the growing menace of
smuggling. The committee recommended the need for a seperate marine
force to deal with smuggling activities.
