‘Navy Day’ is observed on December 4 to recognise the significant role of the Indian Navy and to commemorate Operation Trident's success which took place during the 1971 India-Pakistan War. On this day, the Indian Navy undertakes an ‘Operational Demonstration’, showcasing its readiness and courage.
The Navy Day programme is being organised at the Sindhudurg Fort in Maharashtra this year. This is the first time the day is being celebrated away from the major naval stations.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending the program at Tarkarli and will also unveil an equestrian statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at Rajkot Fort.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi extended greetings on Navy Day and said Navy personnel's commitment to safeguarding our seas is a testament to their unwavering dedication to duty and love for our nation.
“On Navy Day, best wishes to all the personnel of the Indian Navy. Their commitment to safeguarding our seas is a testament to their unwavering dedication to duty and love for our nation. In every circumstance, their spirit and resolve remain unshakable. We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifices,” PM Modi wrote on X.
