Fire contained, vessel to be towed away to sea

Sources said the fire is persisting inside the cargo hold and hoped it will be doused completely on Thursday. An Mi helicopter of the Indian Air Force will take off from Kozhikode on Thursday morning with fire-retardant dry chemical powder to aid the operations.

Meanwhile, salvage team members along with the Coast Guard landed on the ill-fated ship with the help of a helicopter and tied a towline. Once the fire is doused, the ship will be towed away to deep sea with the help of a tug, said an officer.

The Deadly Queue of Death and Indifference

One hundred and fourteen Indians have died this year. They died not in floods, earthquakes, or wars, but under the crushing weight of their fellow citizens. Men, women, and children were trampled in temples, rallies, and film events. The founder of the Srikakulam Venkateswara Temple, after nine devotees were killed in a Diwali crowd surge, dismissed the deaths as “God’s will.” It was not. It was ours.
