Armed forces plan major exercise in the Andamans

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 31. The armed forces are going ahead with a major exercise in the Andaman & Nicobar islands from November 2.

The idea is to keep them in a state of preparedness to deal with any eventuality. ``The exercise is basically meant to galvanise them in the art of working together in operations.''

This eight-day joint amphibious exercise (amphex) by the Army, Navy and the Air Force will be conducted in the operational area of the country's first tri-services integrated command.
