INS Tushil, commanded by Captain Peter Varghese, engaged in various military and social engagements during the port call. This included interactions with senior Senegalese military and government officials and showcasing the cutting-edge indigenous weapons, sensors, and equipment fit onboard. The ship conducted interaction between subject matter experts from the two navies for mutually beneficial avenues and carry out training along with demonstrations. An invigorating session of Yoga was planned for Senegalese enthusiasts.
