PKL 12: Services Players Honour Naval Legacy At INS Kursura
INS Kursura holds a place of pride in India’s naval history. Commissioned in 1969, the submarine played an important role during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, carrying out patrols and contributing to India’s maritime strength at a crucial time. After serving the nation for over three decades, it was decommissioned in 2001 and now stands preserved on the Ramakrishna Beach in Visakhapatnam as a submarine museum. The site offers citizens a glimpse into the life of submariners who worked in challenging conditions deep under the sea.
The visit was a reminder of the deep bond between sport and the services, as the athletes experienced first-hand the conditions in which naval officers once lived and served beneath the sea. For the players, it was not just a symbolic gesture but an inspiring encounter with India’s military legacy.
