Though there is lot talked about this project initially it created lot of interest even NRIs on how is this going to help india in enhancing the shipping business. But after reading the details on the project and its intended use(read...political benefit) we feel sad. It is believed that Sethu is constructed during the war Ram fought with ravana and existance of Ram is universally accepted faith among hindus. So not sure what Government wants to prove to court here? Next on the usage of the project itself turns out to be wasteful excercise - as shipping in that segment is not very huge that it becomes like another Suyez canal to benefit us and also the new canal is not going to be very cost effective also as it is a narrow strite in which Srilankan-Indian navy has strong survelance (LTTE war)which is unsafe and not so encouraging for the shippers instead they prefere circumvent the area saving their business. Not sure what the government is gong to gain but tax payers money is wasted, it seems!
