NEW DELHI - The frequent mishaps involving warships was a matter of “serious concern”, Defence Minister AK Antony said on Feb 6 as he asked the Navy to follow procedures and take corrective measures to avoid such accidents. The Defence Minister said he was not giving ‘100 per cent satisfaction certificate” on the issue of reasons behind the mishaps and steps taken...
by the Navy to address them. “It is a matter of serious concern.... Sometimes speedy induction of large size equipment creates some logistical problems but at the same I don’t say that they have become careless. They are in the process of taking corrective actions and see that these kind of incidents do not take place in future,” he said at the Defexpo press conference.
