An inter-ministerial panel has recommended of
communication sets of vessels being scrapped at Asia’s largest ship breaking yard at Alang in Gujarat need to be destroyed so as to prevent their misuse.
The overall security at the yard, which produces 3.5 million tonne of re-rollable steel per year and employs around 50,000 people, be beefed up and the area should have more policemen.
The Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on ship breaking has recommended that keeping in view the number of ships arriving at the port for breaking and the size of the labour force/vendors, etc. visiting Alang ship breaking yard, it is necessary to strengthen the police station by posting additional policemen.
