Your Excellency,
I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities,furthermore to what I pleaded with JSports below,mainly for Gujrat coast,but,infact the entire west and east coast should be a constant cause of concern.On the east coast, perpetually, from the Chinese presence in the Andamans’ Great Coco and small Coco Islands(gifted to them long ago) and discovered(openly) by the then Defence Minister Sri Goerge Fernandes,but will be enhanced from a host of Fishing trawlers from Malayasia,Thailand,Mynmar,Indonesia and open and porus docks of Singapore,other than the Chinese,themselves around the clock,once the Sethu Samudram sea-passage opens to small shipping,from east coast to west coast and further on to the entire west coast to Jamnagar and Bedi Bunder and still further,making it a tough vigil for the Coast guards.Can only the coast-guards be made responsible for all the security lapse and breaches or would it be necessary to post responsible units,ashore also, comprising of personnel of MHA,Shipping,Defence,Internal Security and top class communication means,all accountable to their own heads and at the same time to a common head of the combined personnel,who inturn may report to the Cabinet Secretariat,ensuring an impregnable and full-proof security of the entire coastline,24hours a day,around the year with war like alertness or to the MHA.?

Consequent to my Email on 24.09.09. Orissa muck-up on 09.09.09.

Sir,
I must have baffled the caller from the ministry at 1121am.,yesterday,as I started babbling incoherently(for him),on hearing of an enquiry abt. My letter to your goodselves,thinking it to be from PRSEC/E/2009/00780 of 4th Aug.’09.After a while Mr.Srinivasan(I think),mentioned of the contents of my mail of 24.09.09-after which I could throw somelight on the queries put forward.and the necessity(even suo-motto) of the Chief Surveyor with the GoI to depute one of his able deputies(highly qualified) on field duty on the Orissa coast,for his own first hand knowledge of his Surveyor had done to have allowed a 32 year old tub to come anywhere near our coast?
2.That has put me to thinking of the control of the entire coast by these Surveyors in line with the activities of the Ministry of Home Affairs and as to why the media has not suggested any such move,in all these months since the happenings on 26/11/08,in Mumbai,as the entire coast dotted wih ten major ports and numerous minor ports is covered by the MMDs under the DGS,for the purpose of trade and commerce,as it is.
3.I may be allowed to request your goodselves,to kindly consider,putting up a Cabinet note for the above purpose in order to co-ordinate the efforts of the two ministries with the Navy and the Coast-guards on the sailing front in order to nail-down inconspicuous and incongruous visitors from across the border,specialy for any purpose other than trade and commerce,which will be unequivocally declared by our ministry,even for providing conclusive proof of the intruders for the whole world to see.,by the Surveyor-in-charge.
4.The Cabinet note may very well,seek permission to declare formation of many more minor ports in elusive and far-off corners of our western coast,specially,which will be the burden upon you and the combine forces of the DGS,POMMDs,already existing MMDs in remote spots on the west coast.This will constitute of Budget provisions from the ministry.
5.A sue-motto cabinet note may not be welcome,but suggestion of an old sea dog can be a good reason,in light of the 09.09.09 Orissa coast mishap,despite the presence of the MMD.
Thanking You.
Yours Obediently
