CM Mamata Banerjee orders to remove wrecked part of ship into Muriganga after Gangasagar Mela

 

The shipwreck happened years ago. The issue of that Bangladeshi ship came up in the Gangasagar preparatory meeting! Because, due to that watercraft, char has risen dangerously towards Kachuberia in Muriganga. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed concern about this. In the meeting, he said, "This ship should be removed after the Gangasagar Fair is over." The shipwreck was not known. After that, char was created from there.”


State Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sat in a meeting to review the preparations for the Gangasagar Mela at Nabanna on Wednesday. There, Sundarbans Development Minister and Sagar MLA Bankim Hazra raised the issue of the sudden growth of char in the direction of Kachuberia. Officials of Army, Navy, Kolkata Port Trust, Disaster Management Department were present in the meeting. The Chief Minister seeks their opinion on the matter of moving the ship. Everyone reported that they had no skills in moving sunken ships. Dredging Corporation of India can do the work with the help of outside agencies. In case of an accident like shipwreck, the Navy also takes help from foreign agencies.

The chief minister wants to know about this from the disaster management department. They also suggest seeking help from dredging corporations. After this, the Chief Minister said, "There is GangaSagar Mela ahead, it is not possible to lift the ship now." Once the fair is complete, we will have to think about how to do this. Remember, this is an international waterway. It should also be kept in mind that the public life of the Sundarbans is not affected in any way.''

The ship sank on the way back to Bangladesh with fly ash during Corona. Seven sailors were rescued. They were recently sent back to Bangladesh according to international norms. But the ship could not be saved. In fact, it is extremely dangerous to have such ships in the middle of the waterway. In this case, the place needs to be surrounded so that no accident happens. 'Marking' is required. It is also necessary to ensure that no accidents occur at night. The Chief Minister directed the Chief Secretary to take further action in this regard as suggested by the Indian Navy. In his words, "We will inspect for how to mark the place." It is to be noted that last Thursday, Irrigation Minister Partha Bhowmik visited Sagar Dwip to review the progress of all the works in the hands of the Irrigation Department related to the Gangasagar Mela, starting from drazing in Muriganga.
