INCOIS to lay 150 km submarine cable at Andaman & Nicobar Islands to study Indian Ocean
Sunday Island
|May 04, 2025
Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) has been chosen by the international scientific community to take up a submarine cable initiative for undertaking long term observations of the Indian Ocean.
-
The submarine cable multi-parameter observatory of approximately 150 km in length is to be situated west of Wandoor in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The infrastructure will comprise two science nodes along the cable, equipped with oceanographic and geophysical sensors positioned at water depths ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 metres.
The landing station will be established at an observatory in Wandoor, with a control centre for real-time data acquisition and monitoring at the institute headquarters here in Hyderabad, said INCOIS Director T.M. Balakrishnan Nair.
This observatory is expected to play a transformative role in understanding the churning occurring in the ocean, including the seismic activity and the potential to trigger tsunamis. It will also study the various oceanographic, geophysical parameters for climate research and operational applications related to tsunami and storm surge early warning system, he said.

The Seelawathi Syndrome
With a title reminiscent of Simone de Beauvoir’s Brigitte Bardot and the Lolita Syndrome this most recent collection of short stories by Chandrarathna Bandara contains seven narratives which contain a sense of impending doom and loss, balanced with an ounce of hope. Simone de Beauvoir’s work was a scathing critique of the femininity and the essence of womanhood which was thought to be promoted at a time in France and indeed the western world when Brigitte Bardot was the ideal women were thought to aspire to. As a feminist de Beauvoir skillfully appropriated the title of Nabakov’s novel Lolita to drive home the point of her damning critique. Though the title is reminiscent of this wellknown feminist work, it is only a coincidence and Bandara’s collection deals with the broader notions of aging, youth, mortality, sexuality, societal norms, as relevant to class and gender as well as broader notions of ethics of war and the brutal truth behind our notions of nationalism. In conversation with him he reveals the reason behind the choice of title.
