Sethusamudram Ship Canal project couldn’t be implemented due to various court cases: Sarbananda Sonowal.

The Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project could not be implemented due to various court cases filed against the project including a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court. The matter is still sub-judice in the Supreme Court, said Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Minister for Ports, Shipping & Waterways. He was responding to a Special Mention of matters of urgent public importance raised by P Wilson, Rajya Sabha MP.

This should upset the ruling DMK government, which has been trying hard for many years to implement the stalled ship canal project.
