Sad to hear about the mishap onboard aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya. 2 deaths reported so far.

Gas leak on INS Vikramaditya kills two, injuries two. Maintenance in almost all government run institutions is simply a pretty messy affair.

INS Vikramaditya is strategically very important ship. Since, its been brought when #UPA was on power, let's hope the ship is strong enough?
