Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh announced that the Centre would establish a marine police training institute in Gujarat, to train the police for safeguarding the state's 1,600 km-long coastline.

The state shares the border with Pakistan.

There are a few shortcomings and we need to fix them. The Centre will take all the necessary steps to strengthen the coastal security,' Singh told reporters after a meeting.
