Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi emphasized the importance of safety measures and peaceful means of conflict resolution. The INS Chakra belonged to the Victor 1 SSN class of submarines and had a speed of 32 knots when submerged. India may acquire more advanced submarines in the future. | Latest News India
