LS passes Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024 by voice vote
New Delhi, Aug 6 (UNI) Amid noisy protests by Congress and Opposition members, the Lok Sabha today passed the Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024, by voice vote after a brief discussion. When the House reconvened at 2 PM after second adjournment, presiding officer Sandhya Rai called for the proceedings of the House. However, the Opposition members had already entered the Well of the House raising slogans. Amid the din, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbanand Sonowal moved 'The Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024 for consideration and passing. Despite the uproar, Sonowal said the Bill ensures greater safety at sea, robust protection of marine environment, faster response to emergencies and comprehensive welfare for the seafarers. It streamlines compliance, boosts tonnage under the Indian flag and enhances India's bankability as a maritime trade hub. He called the Bill as progressive, advanced and modern and said India has emerged as the largest supplier of Merchant Shipping Act 1958 presently governs merchant shipping in India and implements certain international maritime organisation convention. However, the present Act is outdated since it does not provide for some of the critical obligations under the international convention that have been adopted by India, he added. The Act is no longer adequate to realize the country's developmental vision and address the contemporary challenges of the maritime sector. He said that additionally the 1958 Act prioritises regulation over enablement and as a result does not adequately represent the bankability of India as a maritime trade hub aligning the domestic law with international best practices. "The focus of the Bill is increasing India's bankability in maritime sector." The Bill seeks to replace the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958. The Bill provides for temporary registration to unregistered vessels which are to be recycled in India. The Bill instead requires all vessels to be registered regardless of type of propulsion or weight. It expands the definition of vessels to include types such as mobile offshore drilling units, submersibles, and non-displacement crafts. The Bill adds that a foreign vessel chartered by an Indian person may be registered as an Indian vessel. This will apply where the ownership is intended to be transferred to the charterer after a specified period. The Bill states that the central government may create a new body to regulate security of vessels and ports. Amid the din, Captain Brijesh Chowta while discussing on the Bill termed it as a "landmark bill". He said, the Bill will modernize the country's maritime, create jobs and encourage foreign investments. Moreover, Mukeshkumar Chandrakaant Dalal too supported the Bill. The Bill was passed even as the Opposition chaos continued. After the Bill was passed, Sandhya Rai adjourned the House for the day. UNI RBE RB

Iranian judiciary executes prominent nuclear scientist Rouzbeh Vadi on charges of spying for Israel
Tehran, Aug 6 (UNI) Iranian judiciary on Wednesday announced the execution of Rouzbeh Vadi, a nuclear scientist and member of the Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute under the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, over allegations of spying for Israel, reports Iran International. Vadi, who held a doctorate in reactor engineering, and co‑authored a 2011 research paper with senior Iranian nuclear experts, Abdolhamid Minouhchehr and Ahmad Zolfaghari, who died during the Iran-Israel war. Vadi, however was killed in a state-sponsored execution back in June, with the judiciary alleging that he was handling sensitive data to Israel's intelligence agency Mossad. Iranian officials claim he was recruited online, vetted by a Mossad officer using the alias Alex, and later assigned to a handler known as Kevin. After his evaluation, Mossad allegedly determined that Vadi's workplace and level of access made him a high‑value source, according to the judiciary. He was then introduced to 'one of Mossad's top divisions.' At his request, payments were made monthly via a cryptocurrency wallet rather than a reward‑per‑mission system. The scientist was later instructed to buy items to establish secure communication and given technical training to gather, and transmit classified-sensitive state secrets. Iran would 'deal decisively and legally with spies,' referring to ongoing investigations following the June conflict with Israel, Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said on Tuesday during a visit to North Khorasan Province. Ejei recently said that more than 2,000 people had been arrested during and after the 12-day war, some of whom face the death penalty on charges of 'organizational collaboration with the enemy.' There has been a mas surge in arrests and state-authorised killings of various people, alleged to be working for Israel, the US, or third-party group seeking to damage Iran's nuclear program. Iran's intelligence services said they placed Vadi under surveillance after one of his trips to Vienna. He was eventually arrested in Tehran, and prosecutors charged him with 'espionage and intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime in exchange for a specified payment,' awarding him the death sentence, which was carried out by the Supreme Court on Aug 5, 2025.
