Security forces including the Indian Navy, Coast Guard and state and Union Territory Police today conducted 'Operation Hamla' in 13 coastal districts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, to check the preparedness of its personnel in case of a terrorist intrusion.
Hundreds of policemen were involved in the operation in the districts. The operation is scheduled to take place tomorrow too, sources said.
Though 13 coastal districts were covered, Chennai was excluded, considering the heavy movement of people for commercial activity, ahead of Diwali, which is just two days away, they said.
Vehicles were checked at random and suspicious activities were looked into, they added.
