NMMT recalls all JBM-make buses for inspection after fire incidents
'This decision has been taken as a precautionary measure for passenger safety in the light of an unexpected incident that occurred on June 4,' the statement said. The authority added that a decision on redeploying the buses would be taken after the inspection is completed. NMMT on Wednesday night stated that all JBM-manufactured electric buses that had already departed were recalled to the depot for inspection. Mumbai, Jun 4 (PTI) The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) has recalled all electric air-conditioned buses manufactured by JBM from service 'as a precautionary measure' following two fire incidents reported since Wednesday morning, officials said. The first incident occurred at the Ghansoli depot, where a JBM electric bus and three diesel-run buses were gutted in a fire. The electric bus, scheduled for maintenance, caught fire inside the depot workshop due to a short circuit. According to NMMT, the bus was awaiting repairs, and responsibility for its upkeep—including parts and technical maintenance—lay with the manufacturer and supplier, M/s M.H. Eco Life and JBM, along with the contractor's technical staff and a junior engineer from the undertaking. 'A defect report citing IR (Insulation Resistance) failure was noted by the technical staff and junior engineer. This failure led to a short circuit in one of the bus's four sealed battery packs, causing a sudden and massive fire,' the NMMT said. Although depot staff attempted to control the blaze with available fire extinguishers, the sealed nature of the battery packs caused the fire to escalate rapidly. The flames subsequently spread to three nearby diesel buses parked for maintenance. The second fire incident occurred in the evening at the Marol bus depot in Andheri East. An NMMT electric bus operating on Route 144 between Airoli (Navi Mumbai) and Andheri (Mumbai) caught fire on MIDC Road around 6 PM. According to a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official, all passengers were safely evacuated. Two fire engines from the Mumbai Fire Brigade responded quickly and doused the flames within minutes. The cause of this second fire is yet to be determined, but the bus was completely gutted.

Tri-services all-woman circumnavigation sailing expedition team returns home
'Aboard the indigenously-built Indian Armed Services Vessel 'Triveni', a 56-foot sailing yacht, the team of 11 women officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force navigated nearly two months of challenging open-sea conditions. Enduring tropical squalls, rough sea states, and extended fatigue, the crew demonstrated exceptional endurance and unflinching resolve,' the defence minister said in a statement. The historic expedition, launched on April 7 from Mumbai, marked the first-ever international open-sea sailing mission by an all-woman team from the Indian armed forces. New Delhi, Jun 4 (PTI) A tri-services circumnavigation sailing expedition team comprising 12 women officers returned home on Wednesday after completing a ground-breaking international voyage to Seychelles during which they faced tropical squalls, rough seas and extended fatigue. The tri-services sailing expedition team returned home on June 4 after 'completing a ground-breaking 1,800-nautical-mile international voyage to Seychelles,' it said. The expedition was ceremonially flagged-in by Commandant, College of Military Engineering Lieutenant General AK Ramesh in Mumbai. He hailed the mission as a milestone in the journey of gender-inclusive operational excellence. Applauding the courage and determination of the team, he emphasised the growing role of women as key contributors to the armed forces' operational strength. The Mumbai-Seychelles-Mumbai expedition not only symbolises the empowerment of women in the armed forces but also pays tribute to India's legendary warrior queens such as Rani Velu Nachiyar, Rani Durgavati and Rani Lakshmi Bai, whose deeds continue to inspire generations, the ministry had earlier said. The crew included Lt Col Anuja, Maj Karamjeet, Maj Tanyah, Capt Omita, Capt Dauli and Capt Prajakta from the Indian Army; Lt Cdr Priyanka from the Indian Navy; and Sqn Ldr Vibha, Sqn Ldr Shraddha, Sqn Ldr Aruvi and Sqn Ldr Vaishali from the Indian Air Force. 'As India continues to expand its maritime footprint and capabilities, the successful completion of this voyage serves as a symbol of the armed forces' commitment to excellence, equality, and strategic vision — led proudly by its women warriors on the high seas,' the statement said.
