A meeting was called in Karwar recently to discuss the dos and don'ts in the aftermath of the terror attack that took the lives of 26 Indians.

Karwar houses India's largest Naval base -- INS Kadamba -- and the country's first aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, docks here. The Naval base also houses an armament division and a strategic Naval defence location after Goa, Kochi and Mumbai. The base is also used for training and firing purposes.
