At which location was a Barakhana organised by the Eastern Naval Command?
The Eastern Naval Command is based in Visakhapatnam, where a Barakhana was organised.
Consider the following statements regarding Indian Navy's Capabilities: 1. The Indian Navy has inducted advanced and indigenous platforms, including indigenous aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, stealth frigates and Scorpène-class submarines. 2. The Indian Navy has a glorious record of valour, including its decisive role during the 1971 War, particularly Operation Trident, when Indian naval forces struck Karachi harbour. 3. The Indian Navy's capabilities are recognised across the entire world. How many of the above statements are correct?
The fact list supports the first two statements, as it mentions the Indian Navy has inducted advanced and indigenous platforms (statement 3) and has a glorious record of valour, including its decisive role during the 1971 War (statement 7). However, it only mentions that the Indian Navy's capabilities are recognised across the Indo-Pacific (statement 8), not across the entire world.
Consider the following two statements: Statement-I: Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh attended a Barakhana organised by the Eastern Naval Command in Visakhapatnam on October 05, 2026. Statement-II: The Indian Navy has emerged as a powerful maritime force. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is true because it is mentioned in fact 1. Statement 2 is also true because it is mentioned in fact 10. However, statement 2 does not explain why statement 1 is true, as the emergence of the Indian Navy as a powerful maritime force is a separate fact from the attendance of Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh at the Barakhana.
