The strategic advantages to India derive from obtaining a navigable sea route close to the coast, with a reduction in travel distance of more than 350 nautical miles (650 km) (for larger ships). The project is expected to provide a boost to the economic and industrial development of coastal Tamil Nadu. The project will be of particular significance to Tuticorin harbour, which has the potential to transform itself into a nodal port. The State Government has announced its proposal to develop 13 minor ports, including Ennore, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Valinokam, Kolachel and Kanyakumari.
Development of the canal and ports is also expected to provide increased maritime security for Tamil Nadu.

Secular governemnt must not do anything insulting the feeling of the majority hindus. If the shipping canal has so many benifits why it not exploring other route without distroying the ram sethu.Read the reports of tsunami experts and the geological survey what they say about the project.Read the articles written by murli manohar joshi their is another route to build the canal which is not going to distroy the bridge why government is not exploring that? Why government is not promoting tourism which will bring enormous money to the tamil nadu government as well as the locals over there ? Why we hindus should not beleive that atheists like karunanidhi who have always bad mouthed HIndu Gods and devout ROman CAtholic Sonia gandhi who has given free hand to conversions in india are doing to humilate hindus in their own land.

I read your previous comments. Don't pretend to be honest. fact is there is inland canal proposed which will keep setu intact. But you guys want to hurt us by destroying setu.
