Cargo Ship Capsize Incident Off Kerala Coast
In a separate incident, after a Liberian-flagged cargo ship belonging to the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) capsized off the Kerala coast on May 24, the Fort Kochi coastal police registered a case against the company and others.
According to IANS, confirming the registration of the case, State Ports Minister V.N. Vasavan stated that the FIR was filed based on a complaint from local fisherman Shyamji. The case was registered against the MSC, the Ship's Master, and the crew of the cargo vessel, charging them with sailing the vessel in a manner that could cause injury to fishermen and damage to the coastal environment.
The case was reportedly registered on the day when the Congress had called for a protest in around 50 coastal assembly constituencies.
