A pusher tug, a small barge that propels a bigger vessel, drowned in the Hooghly near Prinsep Ghat on Friday night, releasing oil into the river.
Attempts to salvage barge Bhagadutta , owned by the Assam government, might start from Monday, Calcutta Port Trust officials said. “The barge drowned near Prinsep Ghat and the Man o’ War jetty, upstream to Vidyasagar Setu. We have located the exact point of the wreck, which is away from the navigation channel,” said a port trust official.
