Why politicize Sethusamudram Project. It is for the good of India. I know the story (told by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam) how the Catholic Bishop of Trivandrum allowed to distory his Cathedral and Bishop's house for The Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) on the Arabian Sea coastline of Trivandrum, Kerala. Do not mix politics with religion, just to topple a development project.

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.

It is not good for the country. It will benefit Karuna, Balu and his shipping companies. This prouject should never be allowed. Leave aside hindu sentiments. On economical ground also, this project should never be allowed to come up.
