Eighth, last anti-submarine warfare ship launched for Indian Navy
Visakhapatnam: Ajay, the eighth and last ship of anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft (ASW SWC), has been launched at the GRSE, Kolkata. The indigenously-designed and built by Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), Ajay (Yard 3034), the first ship of the Arnala class, was commissioned on June 18 and delivery of the second ship is scheduled in August. With an indigenous content of over 80 per cent, the ship exemplifies the government of India's initiative of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India and provides significant capabilities to secure national maritime interests in the Indian Ocean Region. Powered by diesel engines and propelled by water jets, the launch of Ajay marked a significant milestone in the Indian Navy's continued quest for self-reliance in shipbuilding, weapons, sensors and advanced communication and electronic warfare systems. The warship will augment the Indian Navy's underwater domain awareness, anti-submarine warfare and mine laying capabilities. The ship is equipped with role defining sensors such as hull mounted sonar and low frequency variable depth sonar (LFVDS) and firepower provided by state-of-the-art Torpedoes, anti-submarine rockets, NSG-30 gun and 12.7-mm SRCG. In keeping with the naval tradition, Priya Deshmukh launched the ship in the presence of Chief of Materiel (COM) Vice Admiral Kiran Deshmukh. The event saw participation of senior officials from the Indian Navy and GRSE.

GRSE launches last of 8 anti-submarine warfare ships for Indian Navy
Defence PSU Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE) on Monday (July 21, 2025) launched the eighth and last ship, in a series of anti-submarine warfare shallow water crafts, built for the Indian Navy. The ship, named Ajay, was launched by Priya Deshmukh, wife of Vice Admiral Kiran Deshmukh, chief of materiel of the Indian Navy, who was the chief guest at a function in Kolkata. The Kolkata-based warship maker has built eight anti-submarine warfare shallow water crafts for the Indian Navy, a GRSE official said. These ships are versatile platforms and can participate in a variety of operations, he said. The GRSE official also said these ships are designed and built with low draughts and are thus capable of coastal operations, he said. They are equally capable of low-intensity maritime operations and laying mines, he said. "These 77.6-metre-long and 10.5-metre-wide warships are also capable of full-scale sub-surface surveillance in coastal waters and can carry out operations against surface platforms as well," he said. They can carry out coordinated anti-submarine operations with aircraft. These warships pack a lethal anti-submarine suite comprising lightweight torpedoes, ASW rockets and mines, the official added.

FDA reaches out to more than 5k eateries over food safety in a year, but hygiene remains a concern
1 2 Pune: A string of recent food safety violations at popular eateries in the city has turned the spotlight onto lax sanitation practices, even as the state Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it has actively run awareness and training campaigns for the last four years, covering at least 5,000 establishments, besides campuses and places of worship. This week, two popular restaurants, Goodluck Café on FC Road and Bhiwandi Darbar in Camp, had their licences suspended after customers raised complaints — the former involving a piece of glass found in bun maska, the latter a cockroach in soup. Videos of both incidents circulated widely online, prompting swift FDA inspections and action. Footage also surfaced online of questionable hygiene at other establishments — a cookie kiosk in a Viman Nagar mall where staff were seen placing cookies dropped on the floor back into the display, and a Middle Eastern outlet in Hinjewadi where a feather was found in a biryani order. A customer at a heritage restaurant in Camp also reported finding a hair strand stuck on the lid of his cold drink.

A surprise inspection is conducted, and if violations are found, licences are suspended until food safety norms are complied with," said Suresh Annapure, joint commissioner of FDA Pune. He added that FDA's efforts are not limited to policing violators. "We have run several initiatives in the last four years to help eateries maintain safety standards. From April 2024 till July 2025, Maharashtra FDA conducted Food Safety Training and Certification (FoSTaC) training at 5,507 establishments, issued smiley-based hygiene ratings for 305 eateries. We have also carried out 'Eat Right' workshops on 28 campuses and implemented bhog safety drives at 10 places of worship across Pune region," he said. And yet, customers are now a wary lot. Priya Deshmukh, a software engineer from Baner who loves to eat out, said, "Finding a feather or a cockroach in food is not just gross, it's dangerous. These aren't small mistakes that can be taken lightly. They show there's no real quality check. If we're paying for a meal, we deserve basic hygiene." College student Rohit Kulkarni, a café regular, said, "It's shocking how many places are cutting corners on food safety and quality. The fact that it took a trending video for action to happen says a lot. There should be regular inspections, not just reactions after something goes wrong." Saili Jahagirdar, Pune chapter head of the National Restaurants Association of India (NRAI), countered, "Nobody wants to serve bad food. The concept of 'khana khilana' is an integral part of our Indian culture. But especially during monsoon, pest control becomes even more important to avoid rodent or cockroach infestation on one's premises." She noted that rising consumer awareness is prodding the industry to self-correct, and said, "Today's customers are more vigilant than ever. It's pushing restaurants to be more accountable and constantly improve." Ganesh Shetty, president of the Pune Restaurants and Hoteliers Association (PRAHA), said maintaining hygiene is a restaurant's core responsibility, but also pointed to structural limitations. "Many eateries in Camp and FC Road operate from heritage buildings. Restaurant owners cannot make basic changes like fixing tiles or flooring unless the landlord agrees or there's a court order. It is a tedious process," he told TOI, adding that PRAHA will soon circulate a reminder to members about key protocols, including medical certification for staff every six months.
