This project is simply the brainchild of Mr. Balu and DMK to exploit the regional sentiments... While there is a more viable port facility available at Vizhinjam that has got natural depth and doesn't need any dredging... By spending a fraction of money that being wasted on the so called Sethu samudram project, Vizhinajam can be made a world class port... But unfortunately DMK cant encash the same as votes... He is resorting to this Thuglak plan to just to get political brownie points... Central government needs ministers, who think beyond regional considerations and think about the collective welfare of nation...
