India’s Defence Minister encountered difficulty while attempting to board a naval submarine during an official visit, according to reports.
Sources indicated that the minister slipped while trying to enter the vessel and required assistance from naval personnel. He was later safely helped out after experiencing discomfort inside the narrow entry space.
Officials present at the scene stated that the minister chose not to proceed further inside the submarine, citing the confined environment. The visit was part of a broader review of naval operations and capabilities.
No injuries were reported, and the situation was handled promptly by the crew on site. Authorities have not issued a detailed statement regarding the incident.
The incident drew significant attention on social media, where users highlighted the demanding and confined conditions in which submariners routinely serve during long deployments at sea.
