Alang shipyard at centre of security concerns

The Alang ship-breaking yard of Gujarat was making news for being a dumping ground for toxic-laden ships.

Asia’s largest ship breaking yard is the final destination of decommissioned ships from the world over.

It has often raised environmental and safety concerns but documents available with NDTV suggest that the yard may also be a concern for security agencies.

A confidential naval intelligence report has described Alang as an “ideal breeding ground for the mafia and anti national elements to indulge in nefarious activities”.
