The government spends it to beef up coastal security and thwart terror attacks from the sea
Every VVIP that comes to the city brings the probability of a terror attack, and after 26/11, the government is not taking any chances.
More than Rs 20 lakh is spent to beef up coastal security and prevent another seaborne attack during every visit by important ministers and other dignitaries.
On an average, four VVIPs visit the city every month and cops have become extra cautious after reports that LeT commander and key suspect in the Mumbai attacks Muzamil is likely to coordinate operations in the country.
