New Delhi: The Indian Navy on Tuesday postponed a multi-nation mega naval exercise ‘Milan 2020’ which was scheduled to be held off the coast of Visakhapatnam as part of precautionary measures against coronavirus infection.
The Milan naval exercise was scheduled to be held from March 18-28 and over 40 countries were expected to participate in the exercise.
