India reviews coastal security

India is reviewing its coastal security to prevent desperate Sri Lankan rebels from entering the country.

Defence Ministry A K Antony met Indian Navy Chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta to discuss how renewed costal security measures could be taken. Defence Secretary Vijay Singh was also present during the meeting.

Tamil Tigers, the rebels in Sri Lanka who have been fighting for a separate Tamil homeland, have been cornered by government forces in a tiny coast strip, in the final showdown of the decade-long bloody civil war.

The Indian Navy had expressed fears earlier that the Tamil Tigers may try to infiltrate into India through the western coast.

Sri Lanka is located about 31 kilometres off the southern coast of India.
