| RAMANATHAPURAM: The Indian Navy has deployed at least two warships off Sri Lanka, besides seven warships, including destroyers, in the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has left for Colombo to attend the SAARC conference. A few patrolling vessels of the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) are also part of the security arrangements. A top defence officer told The Hindu here on Friday that while four ships belonged to the Indian Navy, three were from ICG. Four ships, two each from Navy and Coast Guard, were deployed in the Gulf of Mannar. Three ships, two from Navy and one from Coast Guard, had been deployed in the Palk Strait and nearby areas. |
