Come to imagine, if these 5 navy people got killed during the Actual War , not by the enemies but by the old ship itself, what whould have our commanders do in such a case. 1) They would declare, an ugly war that would generate more hate among or people 2) Give the families some medays and cash benefit for the dead 3) Call their death as sacrifices 4) Make more money by buying more junk ships an army equipments instead of solving the core problem in our defence system
I beg to ask, who is responsible for such purchases... let it be the committee. All should be immediately investigated for their acts and money kept in their banks

Need to keep track of this case consistently. Otherwise as time passes the people forget and seriousness is lost. INVESTIGATION BY CONCERN AND RESULTS ARE VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
Dear friends: I had sent an email to Honourable President and PMO as well as to Cabinet Minister office on the subject. If we can send as many email as possible then they have to reply. We can also ask Rediff to have a section on this subject sperately and ask everyone to put their sincere views/comment. Based upon that, we can prepare the advoacy material and send to all media.
I agree with Smitha V. It is very important issue and if I am not wrong our Air and Army are having the same problem (as per my talk with other Air and Arm force people). I think we should send our concerns in form of mass mail to president and cced to Cabinet minister on this subject.
Perhaps the budgets are for new ships. But old ships are bought for less and some money used to entertain the heavy-weights in the bureaucracy, armed forces and politics.

Why do you say "heavy-weights in thbe bureacracy". Why not the top bosses of the forces? Do you know anything at all about how the militart purchases are made? Their budget is not controlled by the "bureacracy". Before commenting on anything first learn the subjectg matter that youare comenting upon.

gud smitha madam am also frm navy... its nice 2 u people like u ver also ter in nauy who takes the side of sailor nd also looks 4 them... thankyou...
I have served in Vishakhapatnam base for 7 years and left Navy after completion of Short service commission. I have served on warships and trust me Indians the ships which we run with so much of proud have following basic problems:- 1) They are old ships. Like this ship was used by US Navy for 45 years before it was sold to us. We paid $500 million for this scrap. 2)I do not understand why leadership in Indian Navy does not stand up and say that we can not run this scrap.whether its Ships or aircrafts or submarines. 3) Do not be surprised to hear that a submarine will sink with 100s of men onboard. 4) So you know who suffers most? Its the family of these naval personnel who Navy pays 5-7 lakhs and a sum of Rs 5000 -8000 as monthly pension. Just think if this happens to you? 5) Stand up guys and say no to these scrap pieces.
Its sad day in history of Indian Navy and we all will forget in a day or two. Its only families of those 5 naval personnel who will suffer for rest of there lives.

The navy and in fact the entire armed forces is entirely corrupt and the cause is that our constitution puts them out side the normal systgem, giving far more power to the people in position and this excess powere leads to corruption. The quality of political leaders that we elect, compounds the problem, but hte problem itself is the very structure is designed to promote dishonesty. Down belwol there is this private entireprise that loots public and enrish a few CEOs and executrives causing the inequality that fires up the desire to make money by any means fair or foul.
WHY INDIAN NAVY BUY OLD SHIP FROM OTHER COUNTRIES? IS SHOPPING IN FLEA MARKET MAKE THEM HAPPY? I NEVER HEARD OTHER WISE INDIAN NAVY BUYS SOME THING NEW !!!!

True friend....India has the capacity of spending billions for our defence system...then why they put the Indian Navy personnel and India at risk. Old hags keeps saaying the same things...they will give you a good reason also "technical fault":))
the problem is engg - the navy must have made some changes to ship and this happened - cost of innovation may be - we need technicians ofhigh calibre - not engineers - u need more skill workers and machnes and no bad weldings - get it right pls - get the basics of the accident not arguments - kickbacks will continue in all deals in govt defence included ok -

Dont sit there patting your back. get up and bang the backs of those responsible for the mishap. CAN YOU DO THAT ? If you can, only then you deserve a pat.
