A day after he returned from an official visit to Indonesia, chief of naval staff Admiral Dinesh Tripathi flew down to Mumbai on Friday to review safety procedures in the aftermath of the collision between an undertrial special operations Rhib (rigid-hull inflatable boat) and an overloaded tourist ferry at Mumbai harbour on December 18 in which 15 people lost their lives.

NEW DELHI:

While a probe has been instituted by the Indian Navy, the navy chief had discussions with western naval commander Vice Admiral Sanjay Singh and other senior officers on the deadly accident. Since he took over, Admiral Tripathi has been constantly harping on safety and discipline and as early as June 4, he had written a letter to the entire force on the safety of personnel and naval platforms.

Defence minister Rajnath Singh and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) have been informed of the preliminary assessments about the accident in writing by the naval headquarters.
