A fourth Dornier aircraft was today inducted in the Coast Guard to increase maritime surveillance over coastal West Bengal and Odisha.
This took the total strength of the Coast Guards' Dornier fleet to 38 across the country, a defence release said.
It coincided with the completion of three decades of air operations at the air enclave in Kolkata operated by 700 Coast Guard Squadron, which was also the first to induct Hindustan Aeronautics Limited built Dornier aircraft equipped with state-of-art sensors.
