Admiral Verma hoped
the refitting work being done on the aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya,
in Russia would be completed according to schedule — by 2012.
The work has been
halted for one-and-a-half years over price issues.
On coastal security,
Admiral Verma said a lot of improvement was made after the Mumbai attacks
and the Navy, the Coast Guard and the State governments were in perfect
coordination. The Cabinet Secretary was regularly reviewing the situation.
