Hope Floats for Decommissioned INS Viraat as SC Stays Dismantling, Gives Notice To Owner
FOLLOW US ON:
The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed the dismantling of decommissioned aircraft carrier INS Viraat after hearing a petition by a firm seeking to convert the ship into a maritime museum and multi-functional adventure centre. The court also issued notice to the company that bought the ship from the government to be made into scrap.
A last-ditch effort was made to save India s longest-serving warship after a Mumbai-based company, named Envitech Marine Consultants Pvt Limited, had come forward to convert the ship into a maritime museum that will be docked in the Zuari river in Goa. The Goa government has also come on board for the project and written to the Ministry of Defence in this regard.
