MILITARYOct 8Odisha: Indian Coast Guard conducts ‘Maritime Search & Rescue Exercise’ off Paradip coastBhubaneswar: The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) conducted the 12th National Maritime Search and Rescue Exercise (SAREX-2026) off Odisha’s Paradip coast under the aegis of the National Maritime Search and Rescue Board (NMSARB) on Thursday. Under the theme ‘Leveraging Technology to Strengthen SAR Preparedness and Maritime Safety’, the exercise brought together maritime and aeronautical agencies to demonstrate operational readiness, interoperability and coordinated response to mass rescue operations at sea. The exercise was reviewed by ICG Director General Paramesh Sivamani. It witnessed participation from the ICG, Navy, Air Force, Shipping Corporation of India, Directorate General of Shipping, Fisheries, Customs, Marine Police, Paradip Port Authority, and the state government agencies. At least 32 observers from 30 countries also participated in the exercise, marking a significant step towards strengthening international cooperation in maritime search and rescue. Their participation facilitated exchange of best practices, enhanced global interoperability and reaffirmed India’s role as a dependable maritime search and rescue partner in the region. The assets deployed included 15 Coast Guard ships, three Dornier aircraft, three Advance Light Helicopters, one Chetak helicopter, IAF C-130J and Mi-17 aircraft, two Indian Navy ships, along with civil and state resources and shore-based support units. The sea drill simulated a ‘Mass Rescue Operation’ following a concurrent aeronautical and maritime distress emergency. As part of the scenario, a passenger aircraft carrying 228 persons ditched at sea near Paradip Port, with the fuselage impacting the container vessel MV Zumba, resulting in structural damage and fire. The exercise involved activation of the Incident Command Post, firefighting operations, helicopter evacuations, deployment of life rafts and air-droppable life rafts, Jason Cradle and Gemini recovery, rescue basket operations and scramble net procedures. The exercise also included a demonstration of Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) capability. SAREX-2026 reaffirmed the collective resolve of India and its international partners to build a faster, technology-enabled and seamlessly coordinated Search and Rescue framework, in line with the vision of SAGAR and the spirit of MAHASAGAR. The exercise reinforced the principle that every distress call must receive a coordinated response and every effort must be made to save lives at sea.sambadenglish · india

POLITICSOct 8Dimasalang Bridge operational by Oct. 20 – DPWHTHE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said that Dimasalang Bridge in Manila, which has been under rehabilitation since June, will reopen on Oct. 20. “We will open this very soon. Hopefully, in the next two weeks. Our target for the reopening is Oct. 20,” said Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon, adding repair works on the bridge were expedited because of its importance to traffic in the area. The bridge is near the Manila North Cemetery, making it crucial to traffic during the coming All Saints’ Day. Dizon said the bridge will open to vehicles even if works on some parts are still ongoing. He thanked Manila Mayor Isko Moreno for allowing the total closure of the bridge to accelerate its rehabilitation. “To our fellow citizens in the City of Manila, especially those who have relatives they will visit at the North Cemetery during Undas, rest assured that before Undas, we will be open. We will open on Oct. 20,” Dizon said. Dizon said that the rehabilitation of Dimasalang Bridge, completed in four and a half months, was proof that DPWH projects can be completed quickly without sacrificing quality. “I want to prove that it can be done. As long as we take the work seriously, we don’t do substandard work, and the construction is done properly,” Dizon said. He said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants government efforts to be felt by Filipinos through such projects.manilatimes · philippines
