The Eastern Naval Command has also scheduled its operational demonstration to December 7, instead of the Navy Day on December 4.
NAD Flyover design
Mr. Basanth Kumar told reporters the double rotary design for the flyover at NAD was finalised. Vijay Nirman Company (VNC) had bagged the contract quoting 7 % less and proposing to construct it at a cost of ₹.112 crore.

Once design was submitted and it would be whetted by IIT, Madras or Roorkee, Chief Engineer V. Chandraiah said.
