Puri – In an unprecedented celebration of India’s maritime strength, the Indian Navy will stage a grand Operational Demonstration (Op Demo) on Puri’s Blue Flag Beach on December 4, 2024, as part of the Navy Day festivities. The event will be attended by the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, who will serve as the Chief Guest. Also in attendance will be the Governor and Chief Minister of Odisha, along with union and state cabinet ministers, military dignitaries, and local citizens.

This Op Demo marks a significant departure from tradition, with the Indian Navy opting to showcase its capabilities outside its major naval bases. The event will feature an impressive display of naval operations, demonstrating the Navy’s advanced technology and strategic prowess. The location of the demonstration highlights the Navy’s commitment to connecting with coastal communities and emphasizing India’s maritime strength.

The choice of Odisha for this event underscores the state’s historic maritime legacy and the Indian Navy’s ongoing efforts to engage with regional coastal populations. This celebration is a step towards strengthening the bond between the Navy and the people, while showcasing India’s evolving maritime defense capabilities.
