BSF's Crocodile Commandos to guard Sir Creek area

India's coastal vulnerability was exposed when 10 terrorists entered Mumbai from the Arabian Sea last year. But the government is now trying to put a system in place to ensure it is not caught on the wrong foot once again by a sea-borne threat.

To guard the western coast, a team of specialised marine commandos has been set up by the Border Security Force (BSF). The marine commando force, named Crocodile Commandos, has been set up to specially guard the Sir Creek area, considered the most sensitive coastal area between India and Pakistan.

The force has been given the most advanced training to guard the creek area at the most difficult situations.
