Billionaire who collaborated with India to bring Cheetahs from Africa, is aboard missing submarine
Submarine on mission to view Titanic wreck is missing since Sunday
London: Captain Hamish Harding, Chairman of Action Aviation and a British businessman who collaborated with the Indian government to bring cheetahs from Namibia to India, is one among the five people who went missing in the Atlantic Ocean aboard a submersible on a mission to have a look at the wreckage of the Titanic - the iconic ocean liner.
Reportedly, the research vessel Polar Prince lost contact with the submersible on Sunday about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive in mid-Atlantic. The sub belonging to OceanGate Expeditions confirmed that its submarine was lost at sea. The company offers eight-day missions to see the Titanic wreckage for USD 250,00 per person. Meanwhile, the company in a statement mentioned that they are exploring and mobilising all options to bring the crew back safely.
The BBC reported on Tuesday that British-Pakistani billionaire businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman were also on the sub.
Hamish Harding, in collaboration with the Indian government for Project Cheetah, had customised Boeing 747-400 aircraft from Namibia to Kuno to relocate the wild cats in September last year.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
