Poor handling
A proverb goes ---- even a mad man can choose the things which are better for him. It seems we are worse than lunatics. Yes, I am talking about our maritime boundary in the Bay of Bengal. We know that we have a vast area in this adjoining sea as per international rules. But our two neighbouring countries India and Myanmar want to have a more than fair share of the Bay. They have already filed their claims to the UN. But we are still doing nothing. Some months back, Myanmar tried to install some heavy machinery in our territorial waters to extract oil, gas etc. India often sends their naval vessels into our territory.
We have to handle the issue a lot more efficiently to avoid incurring huge losses.
