Navy’s Operational Demonstration rehearsals from tomorrow

Visakhapatnam: To commemorate the Navy Day on December 4, every year, the Eastern Naval Command showcases the Indian Navy’s operational capabilities and activities that the navy undertakes on the high seas with an Operational Demonstration at RK Beach.  

The Navy Day operation demonstration gives an opportunity for the public to have a closer glimpse at the multi-faceted activities of the Navy and the challenges that naval personnel experience on  sea. Rehearsals for the 'Op Demo' are scheduled from 4 pm to 6 pm from November 29 and December 3.   

During the rehearsals scheduled on the two days and for final 'Op Demo' on December 4, a large number of aircraft will be flying over RK Beach. To ensure the safe operation of these aircraft, Indian Navy is requesting the public visiting the beach and the residents in the neighbourhood to keep the area free from litter and to avoid bringing food items to the beach. Such activities will attract birds and can pose a major hazard to aircraft and could lead a major air mishap, the Eastern Naval Command said in a release on Tuesday.
