Echoes of Vande Mataram. Spirit of Nation First! 🇮🇳

Commemorating 150 glorious years of #VandeMataram, #IndianCoastGuard Regional HQ (West) and its units led a year-long nationwide campaign from 07 November 2025 to 07 November 2026 with immense patriotic fervour.

The events featured mass singing of the #NationalSong by ICG personnel and their families, impactful educational outreach, and a spirited Vande Mataram Torch Relay with #NCC cadets to inspire the youth.

The campaign served as a powerful tribute to the timeless spirit of our National Song, rekindling patriotism and national pride while reflecting the Indian Coast Guard’s enduring commitment, dedication and resolute spirit of putting the ‘Nation First’.

Safeguarding Lives At Sea.

#IndianCoastGuard Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre #MRCC #SriVijayaPuram rescued a distressed fishing boat near the #Myanmar IMBL, North of East Island, following a DAT distress alert on 05 November 2026.

Responding swiftly to the emergency, ICGS Rajkamal was deployed for the search and rescue operation.

In coordination with an ICG Dornier aircraft, the adrift fishing boat, IFB Sandhiya Grapper-II, along with its 08 crew members, was successfully located.

The technical team repaired the defective fuel injection pump at sea, effectively restoring the boat's propulsion and enabling its safe return to Junglighat harbour.

This successful operation underscores ICG and ANC's steadfast commitment to protecting lives.
