Unfortunately we are a country of no strategic environment or attitude. We still haven't progressed with the attitude of “This can't happen.” And when it does, we layer the incident with a ‘n’ number of inquiries, nowhere to lead.
The two major incidents from the Indian Navy’s accounts speak about the level of negligence in their working behaviour.
First, almost sank INS Brahmaputra when it was undergoing a refit when it caught fire in July. It not only cost us capital but also the life of one sailor, with massive damage to the warship.
However, the ship is undergoing reparations and renovation after the indulgence of foreign expertise.
The other incident happened yesterday, when the Indian Navy's speedboat was going through trial runs for the new engine.
The Speedboat collided with the Ferry boat which was moving from the gateway of India to Elephanta and cost the lives of 13 people.
Quick to respond, the navy sent rescue teams which rescued 99 people along with the marine police and coast guard.
Four naval helicopters, 11 naval craft, one Coast Guard boat, and three Marine Police boats are involved in the rescue efforts.
The officials stated that a board of inquiry will be conducted to understand the cause of the incident. “We will investigate how the engine malfunctioned and determine if any other factors contributed to the mishap,” they added.
Mumbai police has registered a case against people on the speed boat. There were a total six people onboard during the time of the accident, two were navy personnel and four were company representatives of OEM.
Questions you must ask as a honest taxpayer to the Indian navy and marine police;
-Why did the trail take place near a civil area which is always occupied and busy?
-Would the Indian Navy be making the report of inquiry they launched public?
-Who ordered the trails in such a crowded area?
-Why did the ferry boat not provide and instruct over life saving jackets?
-Why the ferry boat couldn't tell the exact number of people onboard?
-Does maritime police not look after the regulations of these things?
It's sad that we get wake up calls over the dead bodies of innocent people. And we won't be even bothered to address it as lives are cheap in this country.
Just like the cases of people dying from the fall of hoarding, a man declared dead as an electricity wire fell in the water puddle. We will forget this too.
If a country doesn't care for each life it is nurturing under itself, it is not a country worth living for.
