INS Prahar sinks after collision

The Navy is now deeply concerned with what it feels was a freak incident that should never have happened. A Naval team from Western Command is now investigating the incident and interrogating the rescued officers currently in Goa.

After a meticulous rescue operation last night by two Naval ships, two Coast Guard boats, a Dornier-228 aircraft and two Chetak choppers, the International Rules of the Road will now have to be invoked to judge which vessel is to blame for the collision.

A Naval spokesperson said, 8220;Prahar had no chance. The merchant vessel was huge, at almost 30,000 tonnes8230;Salvage operations for the sunk ship will be studied once initial investigations are through. Thankfully, there have been no casualties.8221;
