GROUNDED SHIP: Damaged merchant ship may prove headache for Mumbai!

Have you read, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

India Today India West Story.

The ship, MV Wisdom drifted dangerously close to the Bandra-Worli sealink.

What began as a scare for Mumbai's iconic sea link has now turned into a 9,000-tonne headache for Mumbai. The merchant ship that ran aground off Mumbai's Juhu coast may be too damaged to be moved from its present location.
In fact, sources suggest that the ship is likely to be grounded there for several days and with India's record of not be able to remove grounded ship from the coastline, this could well become a 145-metre eyesore for Mumbaikars.
One of the options could be to dismantle the ship on the spot. But environmentalists fear that this could prove hazardous.
Should be towed to Alnag port using heavy duty tug-boat and dismantle it there, where hopefully, they have better disaster containing knowledge and equipments.
