Sethusamudram project gets the green signal

The project proposes linking the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar on the east coast of India by creating a shipping canal through Rameswaram Island, which would provide a continuous navigable sea route around the Indian Peninsula. ..The project was originally conceived in 1860 by the British Commander A.D. Taylor of the Indian Marines..



Construction for this ambitious Rs.2000 crore project kicked off today and has sparked lots of controversities on the need for it and side-effects of such construction in a "marine-biosphere". Even though there are environmental concerns and life of fishermen might be affected, this will give a major boost to trade in South India and it is perceived that Tuticorin port can directly compete with Singapore and Colombo ports for port activities. More on this from Deccanherald and another news website.
