Illegal survey

NEW DELHI, JAN. 31. An attempt by two foreign ships from indulging in illegal survey and collection of `strategic hydrographic data' in the Indian nautical zone was foiled by the Indian Coast Guard personnel recently, the Coast Guard chief, Vice-Admiral John C. Desilva, said here today.

``The vessels belonged to two countries and the data collection was being made within 200 nautical miles away from the coast,'' he said.
