The ceremonial "flag-in" event celebrated the successful completion of the voyage, highlighting the courage, endurance, and navigational skills of the crew. Minister Singh praised the officers for their extraordinary achievement, calling it a testament to India's growing prowess in naval exploration and a proud moment for the nation.
