Author : Fahaduddin and Dr. Sarfaraz Islam
Abstract :
The geostrategic, geopolitical, economic, and diplomatic significance of the Indian Ocean Region is examined, as is India's involvement in resolving security issues. It draws attention to the conflicts around Palak Bay and Kachativu Island and emphasizes the necessity of legislative measures to lessen environmental harm and conflict. The maritime border between India and Sri Lanka, which was drawn in 1974 and 1976, is still tense in the Gulf of Manna and the Palak Strait, which puts Sri Lanka's economy and ecology at danger and poses security threats. Despite these problems, goodwill still prevails. Raising awareness and developing policies to save the environment are the goals of this study.
