ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS3 (internal security, maritime security) and GS2 (bilateral relations). Shared waters with Sri Lanka raise issues such as fishermen's detentions, smuggling and search-and-rescue; the Coast Guard Act, 1978 gives India's force its mandate, and regular institutional meetings build trust and operational coordination. The way forward is joint patrols, information sharing and humane handling of fishermen alongside capacity building.
