His name was not mentioned anywhere in the list of those who were rescued and also in the list of those who died. We waited for some time and then received a news that there is a body which has not been identified in JJ Hospital, Mumbai.

two people still missing
Not only this, two people are still missing, efforts to find them are going on. Which includes a small child and a man. The marine team and coastal team of Mumbai Police are continuously continuing the search operation in the entire area.

Train officer was not on the boat
Responsibility is being put on the Navy in this entire matter, but the Navy issued an official statement saying that due to loss of control during the engine trial, Neelkamal got hit hard and an accident occurred. But the question arises that why was the Navy’s boat training taking place in such a public boat parking lot and why was no trained training officer present on the boat?

life jacket mandatory
However, after this entire incident, the picture of the ferry going through the Gateway of India has changed. After the accident, now all the ferries are making the journey by arranging queues and wearing life jackets compulsorily. But in this entire accident, the fault also lies with the personnel of Neelkamal Boat on the Navy’s speed boat, who had boarded more passengers than the capacity of the boat and who were not even getting life jackets when the time came.

PM and CM announced compensation
The Prime Minister has announced to give Rs 2 lakh to the families of the deceased and CM Devendra Fadnavis has announced Rs 5 lakh. PM Modi also announced an ex-gratia amount of Rs 2 lakh from the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund.
