Udupi, Feb 25: The Indian armed force tankers that were located at Seabird (INS Kadamba), Asia’s largest naval base in Karwar in Uttara Karnataka were transported by railway wagons to Secundarabad, through Mangalore recently. 

Additional security personnel were posted in all the railway stations en-route when the wagons carrying 15 tankers, 20 jeeps and 4 coaches passed through various stations.  The army personnel also accompanied the artillery, staying in adjacent bogies with cooking and dining facility on-board.

A similar process had been undertaken by the Army a couple of times before in the past few months. But for general public, it was a rare view to see some of the military tankers and artillery. Since most of the people did not know about the process, there was a general perception that the Army was preparing itself for a war, stationing itself in strategic points.
