RE:Put Nation before Religion

sethu samudram project is not good for country.
this will open this closed waters to international water so that pakisthan,chinese and american navies can pass through this.this will endanger our coastal areas particularly of
kalpakkam nuclear reactors.it kills fishing,
ecological,marine biosphere,environmental besides above,it opens the gate for TSUNAMI to sweep entire coastal tamilnadu and kerala.apart
from above,economically it is unviable project
as its depth is just 10 meters and narrow channel which will allow navigation of only smaller tonnage ships.bigger ships can not pass through. due to narrowness,mud sediments will be deposited often and dredging is round the year. pilotage,tugging services,inspection by suez canal authority at high fees every year will make expensive to operate.trade traffic to tuticorin is less via south east asia but via other directions which ships no need to transit via sethu channel.finally you kill the sentiments of faith of 800 millions people long belief. better UPA gove put a coastal railway line service to cater to common people needs alongside the coastal area instead of helping few ships owners profit.only balu and karuna will benefit in this project.
