Antony, Navy lauded

KOCHI: S.R. Kulkarni, president of All India Port and Dock Workers’ Federation and chairman of Asia-Pacific Dockers’ Section of the International Transport Workers’ Federation, has suggested that the Union government move a resolution in the UN that its maritime member countries deploy their naval ships in areas where Somali pirates are detaining vessels. In a letter sent to the government to congratulate Defence Minister A.K.
