BSL's special-grade steel powers Navy warfare
1 2 Bokaro: The Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) has marked another significant step in India's journey towards defence self-reliance by supplying special-grade steel for the Navy's first indigenously designed and built Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), INS Arnala, which was inducted into service on June 18, it said in a statement. Out of the 3,500 tonnes of special steel supplied by SAIL for the ASW-SWC project, BSL contributed 3,100 tonnes. This special-grade steel was used not only in INS Arnala but also in seven other warships under construction at Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers (GRSE), showcasing BSL's critical role in strengthening India's naval capabilities, said a SAIL official. This move reinforces SAIL's role in advancing the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' (Self-Reliant India) mission. By reducing reliance on imported materials, BSL is contributing to a robust and indigenous defence manufacturing ecosystem. Earlier, SAIL-BSL provided special steel for INS Vikrant, INS Vindhyagiri, INS Nilgiri, and INS Surat.

Spl court takes up land dispute cases in Bokaro
Bokaro: Land dispute cases are now being heard by a mobile court in the district. With more than 1,200 transfer appeal cases from Chas and Chandankiyari circles pending in his court, deputy collector land reforms (DCLR) Prabhash Dutta has obtained a special permission from deputy commissioner Ajay Nath Jha to conduct mobile court camps in Circle offices. This unique initiative aims to speed up the resolution of disputes process and ensures that justice is not denied due to absence or lack of information. "Special court camps are scheduled from June 13 to 18. Chas circle office (CO) is hosting hearings on June 13, 14, and 16, while Chandankiyari CO office will hold sessions on June 17 and 18. The first mobile court was held at the Chas CO where the appeal of one Shyamali Dubey from Bokaro Steel City was heard. Many other complainants were also present, marking a strong turnout," said Dutta. The DCLR explained that many appellants remain unaware of the hearing location and often visit older offices, resulting in no-shows. "If the public can't reach the court, then we as a quasi-judicial court reached the public," he said. Those who remain absent during these mobile hearings will face unilateral decisions. Notices have been posted in govt offices and panchayats to inform citizens. "Many raiyats (landholders) participated in the court camps. During the hearing, several cases were successfully resolved," Jha said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
