BLIND SETHU PROJECT SUPPORTERS - READ THIS..

Sethu Canal is not Suez Canal or Panama Canal. Tuticorin will NOT BECOME A SINGAPORE OR HONG KONG BY this canal.
Worldwide, Shipping industry is moving to bigger sized ships. We are talking about 35000 Tonne Ships being the norm. Such Huge Sized ships will not be able to pass through Sethu canal.
Secondly, Shipping traffic between Chennai and Western Asia/Europe is not that much at all. So the users of canal will be just a few ships. Also,there is absolutely no need for them to stop in Tuticorin Port . Why? They can get much cheaper diesel/fuel in Aden port or in Colombo. Why should they ever stop in Tuticorin?
Bottom line is - Sethu Project is a politician-contractor scam to fool tamils and to fool the people of Southern Tamilnadu. DMK is doing everything only for Chennai and neglecting Southern TN. Sethu project is waste of money and time. Koodankulam project will do more good for Tuticorin/Nellai.
In other words - dont be fooled by DMK and politician trick scams.
And more importantly, dont think everyone who opposes sethu is a aryan bjp agent. I am neither and I only point out the waste of money in this project. Still if you want your dear DMK leaders to become richer, go ahead. But dont think that Tuticorin will become a Singapore in this project. Chennai alone will see all industries and investment and rest of Tamilnadu will be full of underdevelopment and unemployment.
