Director General of the Indian Coast Guard, DG Paramesh Sivamani, inaugurated the state-of-the-art OTM Administrative Complex of Coast Guard District Headquarters No. 13 in Puducherry on Saturday

The inauguration marks a significant milestone in strengthening India’s maritime security architecture along the eastern seaboard. The newly constructed complex reflects the vision of a “Modern Force, Modern Infrastructure” and is designed to enhance operational efficiency and administrative capabilities.

The facility houses an advanced Operations Centre along with the Maritime Rescue Sub Centre, Puducherry, creating a unified hub for command, control, and coordination.

This integrated infrastructure will enable prompt and effective responses to emerging maritime challenges and enhance maritime surveillance and rescue operations.

Coast Guard District Headquarters No. 13, which is responsible for Puducherry and Central Tamil Nadu, oversees a maritime area spanning more than 140 nautical miles. The headquarters plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of life and property at sea, preserving the marine environment, and safeguarding India’s maritime interests along the region’s coastline.
