The National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) here and Marine and Coastal Survey Division (MCSD) of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) in Mangalore have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaboration in the field of natural resource exploration in the Andaman Offshore region on Thursday.
GSI has been carrying out seismic surveys on selected parts of the continental shelf, rise and convergent margin in order to unearth submarine structures and associated mineral resources on the EEZ of India by utilising the multi-channel seismic data acquisition system along with other geoscientific equipment onboard Research Vehicle Samudra Ratnakar.
NGRI scientists have proven expertise in marine seismic studies with a record of technique development. These efforts are aimed at bringing synergy between the two institutes and to work in tune with the blue economy model of the country.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
