A new tussle started between the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the inauguration of Guru Gobind Singh Indraprasth University in East Delhi.

Delhi education minister, Atishi had announced the inauguration of the university by the Delhi CM which prompted the Delhi LG to issue a statement saying, “Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself was aware of the fact that the L-G was scheduled to inaugurate the campus. In fact, they were also aware that they were supposed to be present in the function as Guest of Honour and distinguished guest, as desired by the L-G and had also consented to it.”

“Moreover, even on the day when Atishi made this claim in a press conference, i.e. 06.06.2023, earlier during the day, the VC of GGSIPU had announced on stage at the Convocation of GGSIPU, where Atishi was present as a Guest of Honour, that the East Campus of the University was scheduled to be inaugurated by the Lt. Governor on 08.06.2023,” it added.  

Reacting to this Delhi education minister, Atishi said that the L-G should not forget that education, higher education and technical education are all transferred subjects.

Even Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj reacted to this, saying that the L-G should focus on inauguration of buildings which come under Police, Land and Public order.

“The construction of this campus started when he (VK Saxena) was not the L-G. Manish Sisodia started this work and our elected government took it further. It is strange now for the L-G to say that he was asked by officials to inaugurate the university campus,” Bhardwaj said.

“At this rate, the L-G could say tomorrow that he would inaugurate Saurabh Bhardwaj’s office. That’s why L-G has kept all officers under his control and wants to keep it going. The CM is the one vested with the moral authority to inaugurate the campus. Such thoughts should not even come to the L-G’s mind,” he added.

Tensions have been rising between the Delhi L-G and Delhi CM for the past few years over various matters. Notably, in May this year a Supreme Court judgement had ruled that the Delhi government had powers over civil services in the Delhi after which the Centre had brought in an ordinance regarding civil services giving more power to the L-G, creating more friction between the two posts.

Debris recovered on land after Titan submersible’s catastrophic implosion

Published:

The debris from Titan submersible has been successfully brought ashore. The recovery operation took place nearly a week after remains of the OceanGate submersible were first discovered on the ocean floor by a remotely operated vehicle.

Debris, including the tail cone, was found about 1,600 feet from the bow of the wrecked Titanic on June 22, four days after the launch of the doomed tourist expedition.

The recovered debris, including the tail cone, was located approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of wrecked Titanic on June 22. This discovery occurred four days after the doomed tourist expedition set sail.

Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, confirmed that the additional debris found aligns with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.

In response to the incident, the Canadian Coast Guard has committed to provide ongoing support and assistance to the recovery and salvage operations as directed by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Boston.

The U.S. Coast Guard, in collaboration with the National Transportation Safety Board, has initiated a comprehensive investigation into the fatal incident. Their joint efforts aim to uncover the circumstances leading to the implosion and shed light on the factors contributing to this tragic event.

Meanwhile, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has announced that they are closely examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths onboard the Titan. If the circumstances suggest a potential violation of criminal, federal, or provincial laws, a full investigation will be launched to ascertain accountability.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities and experts are committed to understanding the causes behind the submersible’s implosion, ensuring the safety of future deep-sea explorations, and providing closure to the affected families and loved ones.
