Maharashtra unveils MDA app to monitor small boats along coastline

Maharashtra Police launched Marine Domain Awareness (MDA) app to strengthen coastal security. Built with help from Indian Navy and IIT Madras, it will track smaller boats, which usually slip past older systems, and suspicious vessels along the state's coastline from Palghar to Sindhudurg. Mobiles equipped with the app will be given to fishermen and passenger boat operators for onboard use.
