Silkyara tunnel contractor locked in dispute with Indian Navy over missed deadline
Monday, 18 December 2023 Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd, the private contractor responsible for the collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand, is also involved in a dispute over the failure to complete a top-secret defence project for the Indian Navy known as Project Varsha. The Ministry of Defence removed Navayuga as the contractor for the project due to repeated delays. Navayuga had approached the Delhi High Court seeking to stop authorities from encashing bank guarantees paid for the project. The project involves the construction of the Inner and Outer Harbour and is of national and strategic importance.
A tragic incident unfolded at the Mumbai naval dockyard as the Indian Navy frigate INS Brahmaputra suffered severe damage due to a fire that broke out on Sunday evening. The multirole warship, which was undergoing a routine refit, is now lying on its side, and a junior sailor remains unaccounted for as rescue efforts continue.

Ten of the total 14 districts in Kerala are among the 30 most landslide-prone districts in the country, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) noted in its 2023 report, raising alarm over the increasing vulnerability of the Western Ghats. But it has not slowed down the pace of development in the sensitive region, setting it up for one disaster after another, experts say. The risk assessment led by the Hyderabad-based National Remote Sensing Centre ranked Thrissur third among the most vulnerable districts after Rudraprayag and Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand.

The Supreme Court on July 22 stayed the order passed by Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand police asking eatery owners along the Kanwar Yatra path to display names of owners and the staff employed by them. The directives issued by the Uttar Pradesh government are discriminatory, the top court said. The court was hearing a plea by an NGO that challenged the orders issued by the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand government. The order directed shop owners and eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been remanded to three days of CBI custody in the alleged liquor policy scam case. This follows his examination in Tihar jail and formal arrest by the CBI. The Delhi High Court has stayed a previous bail order in a related money laundering case.
