Demolition already underway, court tells firm wanting to convert aircraft carrier into museum
INS Viraat, the Navy’s decomissioned aircraft carrier, has become the “private property” of a ship-breaker who has already torn down 40% of its body, chiefly for scrap, the Supreme Court told a private company, that wants to turn the vessel into a maritime museum-cum-adventure centre.
On February 10, the court had ordered a stay on the process of dismantling the ship at an Alang yard in Gujarat.
