The Indian navy began operations on Thursday to salvage a massive cargo ship MV Wisdom from the Juhu Beach in Mumbai.

The MV wisdom had become a major attraction for the locals when it ran aground Juhu Beach on Saturday.
-
MV Wisdom had first drifted dangerously close to the Bandra-Worli Sea link before it ran aground Juhu beach.
-
The hull and anchor of the ship are intact making it easier to move the Wisdom. The ship is reportedly headed towards Gujarat.
-
The MV Wisdom was being tugged from Colombo to the Alang shipyard in Gujarat to be dismantled when the cable to its tow-boat collapsed.
-
Environmentalists were concerned about the Wisdom being so close to Juhu Beach as the monsoons hit the city.
-
Naval helicopters dropped steel cables and equipment onto the MV Wisdom so that the company that's now taken over can start moving the ship.
-
Reports suggest that Wisdom, owned by a company in Singapore, weighs 9,000 tons.
