Also, it was a challenging task to keep this mission secret until the Indian Forces land in the Maldives because the Indian government didn't want the rebels to have any hint of India's action through the media. The commanding officer talked to his colleague at ATC Trivandrum in Arabi to seek permission to fly out of India. A commando unit attacked the rebels at the jetty to create a diversion so that the Indian Commandos can reach to the safe house of President with minimal risks.
