Committed to keeping the vast coastline of India secure, the Indian Coast Guard also plays a vital role in rescuing people stranded in the high seas. This time, in a brave act, their personnel rescued all the 50 people working on the jack-up rig “Key Singapore” off the coast of Gujarat with cyclone Biparjoy intensifying.
