New Delhi, March 26: Keeping in view the vulnerability of the coastline in Maharashtra and Gujarat, a Joint Coastal Patrolling has been introduced to check illegal cross border activities.

Under this arrangement, patrolling of the coastal areas is being undertaken by the Navy, the state police and customs, a senior Home Ministry official said.

For making the joint coastal patrolling more effective, a scheme has been formulated to create additional infrastructure for Coast Guard to enable it to undertake joint coastal patrolling, he said.

Under the scheme, 'Operation Swan', assistance will be given to Coast Guard to procure 15 interceptor boats suitable for patrolling the coastal waters and for setting up three Coast Guard Stations -- two in Maharashtra and one in Gujarat.

The scheme is being implemented jointly by the Union Home Ministry, which will meet the non-recurring expenditure, and the Defence Ministry, which will meet the recurring expenditure.
