President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday launched Vindhyagiri, the last in the series of three Project 17A (Alpha) frigates built by the Indian Navy at the Kolkata based Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE). Describing the development as a move forward in enhancing India’s maritime capabilities, the President said that the launch was also a step towards achieving the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat through indigenous shipbuilding.

President Murmu said that Project 17A, under which Vindhyagiri was developed, reflects the country’s commitment to self-reliance and technological advancement. “The President said that the security in the Indian Ocean Region and the larger IndoPacific has many aspects and the Navy has to always remain proactive in tackling security threats,” a press statement by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said.

President Murmu was joined by West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the event. “Following the launch, Vindhyagiri will join its two sister ships at the Outfitting Jetty at GRSE, to progress remaining activities and equipment trials, in the runup to their delivery and commissioning,” said a press statement by the Indian Navy.

Hurricane Milton lashing Florida with tornadoes and wind

  Milton’s forecast landfall time was adjusted earlier due to the track shifting south. The National Hurricane Center said the storm could come ashore as early as 11 p.m., or within the next 12 hours, somewhere near or just south of Sarasota. That  slight shift is important . The hurricane’s landfall point has shifted south by 10 miles since this morning and 16 miles south since Tuesday morning. It also means the storm has less of the Gulf of Mexico to cover before it reaches land, hence the sooner time. The earlier landfall time also does not leave much time for Milton to weaken. With only 12 hours left over water, it will likely still make landfall as a major hurricane tonight, at Category 3 or 4 strength. Milton’s outermost rainbands are producing dangerous storms in parts of South Florida. Multiple confirmed tornadoes have impacted the region since this morning, according to the National Weather Service. Already, at least three separate tornado warnings have warranted a “p...
