AN OLD tugboat, Tru Grit, which was being towed to Darukhana ship breaking and had run aground off Raj Bhavan was floated at 11.30 pm on Sunday and was moved to deeper waters at 1.30 am on Monday.
The tug is stuck off Raj Bhavan since the second week of September.

The salvers of the boat had come to Mumbai Port Trust on Tuesday and met with concerned officers. They had patched a hole in the vessel and took steps for extra buoyancy. The trust had already given a notice to the owners for removal of the tug.
A shipping ministry official said that if the tug could not be removed then it would have to be cut in pieces.
