More like nosing around for any equipment placed in position by the chinese, or for placing their own sensors to monitor chinese vessles. Otherwise why should Inida should be concerned about SLK's territorial waters. Did SLK ask them for their help? All very intriguing.

Those who allowed this essentially a “spy” ship to operate in our waters must be charged in the court as traitors working for India.

Hydrographic survey is the science of measurement and description of features which affect maritime navigation, marine construction, dredging, offshore oil exploration/offshore oil drilling and related activities. They need 60 days....? wonder what they are really up to?
