NEW DELHI: Sukhmeet Singh and Dhiraj Kumar Agrawal have travelled the oceans, but their real test as merchant navy commanders came in the volatile Strait of Hormuz, an otherwise calmer oil and gas trade route now under the shadow of drones, missiles and rigged with anti-ship mines. Their objective — safely navigate two massive Indian LPG gas tankers through a war-hit path to ensure people back home keep getting cooking gas.Patience and experience was on their side — while the Sukhmeet-captained ‘Shivalik’ reached the Mundra port on Monday, the Dhiraj-steered ‘Nanda Devi’ docked in Kandla port’s Vandinar facility on early Tuesday, completing a difficult trip after being stranded for over a week on the West of Hormuz due to massive military strikes.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: US pounds Iranian missile sites near key Strait of Hormuz; Iran rains down cluster bombs on Tel AvivIran confirms death of national security chief Ali Larijani, president Pezeshkian offers condolences’Posed risk to shipping’: US says it hit Iran missile sites near Strait of Hormuz with 5,000-pound munitions Watch Nanda Devi Returns Home After Shivalik, Crew Thanks Indian Navy For Safe Transit Through Hormuz After the ships — Shivalik with 27 sailors and Nanda Devi with 30 — reached the Indian ports with over 92,000 tonnes of LPG, shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday morning held a virtual interaction with “the brave crews”, saying, “seafarers are the unsung heroes of global trade.” “Far away from your homes and families, you ensured that essential cargo reaches its destination safely…crew demonstrated exceptional calmness, vigilance and professionalism under challenging conditions,” he said.Officials, who met the sailors onboard the vessels, said the only problem crews faced was the “long wait”.

Four IAF-controlled civil airports will face temporary shutdowns as their runways need recarpeting for smooth operations of both military and civil aircraft. As the runways at Jodhpur, Srinagar, Pune and Adampur airports will be recarpeted under different schedules this year, civilian flights at these airports will be affected during their respective shutdown periods.Starting with the Jodhpur airport, the IAF has issued a ‘Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)’ for runway re-carpeting and, therefore, civilian flight operations at the airport will remain suspended for nearly a month from Mar 29 to April 27.
