Third Tenure
George Fernandes broke away from the erstwhile Janata Dal and formed the Samata Party in 1994.
In spite of individual a committed socialist, who had previously other opposed the Sangh Parivar - so much so that he had be willing to expire Morarji Desai's government on the give somebody the third degree of Atal Behari Vajpayee and LK Advani's "dual membership" of the Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh - his party become a key ally of the BJP inwardly the National Democratic Alliance. The alliance, consisting of 24-parties, won a slender majority in the 1998 see. Fernandes was name as the Minister for Communications in the 13-day ministry.
Due to the collapse of the NDA Government, polls be held and NDA returned back next to a slender, but manageable majority. The organization barely last a few months, due to the non-cooperation of AIADMK leader Ms. Jayalalitha.
Support to Secessionist Groups
George Fernandes have openly supported and endorsed secessionist movements and groups, irrespective of whether he be a Union Minister or a member of the Opposition. Notable among the secessionist groups supported by him include The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (now designated as a terrorist group), the Tibetan refugee fighting for freedom against China and Burmese rebel group, fighting against the military administration in Myanmar
SETHU SAMUDRAM SEAWAY: DREAM OF ANNA
N.Nandhivarman General Secretary Dravida Peravai
In Tamil Nadu at Madurai, Ramanathapuram and at Tuticorin, The Union Defense Minister George Fernandes announced the launching of Sethu Samudram project. Breaking that word THE HINDU, English Daily dated January 8, 1999 wrote:
A 138-YEAR SUSPENSE BROKEN
The Sethu samudram canal project will stir down in history as payment of the 20 th century to the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. A 138 year old suspense be broken by the Union Defense Minister Mr. George Fernandes, on Wednesday when he announced at Rameshwaram that work on the project will commence contained by the next few months.
Conceived contained by 1860 by Commander A.D.Taylor of the Indian Marines, the project, envisaged to link the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay, have been reviewed umpteen times over the years but a verdict could not be made. At a time when the people of southern districts begin to think that Sethusamudram would remain a pipe dream approaching linking of the Ganga and Cauvery, came the announcement from the Prime Minister A.B.Vajpayee within Chennai that his government would implement the project. The Prime Minister followed that announcement by entrusting the project to the Defense Minister, who did lot of spadework contained by the last four months in the past making an aerial survey of the project on Wednesday. Light could be see at the end of the tunnel. Since the conception of the Sethu Samudram, two other canals- the Suez Canal (1869) and the Panama Canal (1915) hold been built contained by the world.
Though many reason could be attributed to the delay within the project taking shape, lack of political will have been the leading factor. Like marking the twelfth man within a cricket team, Sethu Samudram found a place contained by the election manifestoes of adjectives political parties during elections. Hopes roughly the implementation of the project soared when the Union Government appointed the Sethu Samudram Project Committee surrounded by 1955, headed by Dr.A.Ramasamy Mudaliar, which be charged with the duty of examining the desirability of the project. After evaluating the costs and benefits, this committee found the project viable and viable. Several reviews of the proposals followed this till Mr.Vajpayee announced his Governments commitment to execute the project.
What is paramount importance to the country are the strategic advantages that would accrue from this project. Though the country have a peninsular coast running to 3554 nautical miles, it does not have a continuous sea-lane inside its territorial waters. Ships navigating from one side of the country to the other enjoy to circumnavigate Sri Lanka due to the presence of Adam’s bridge, a sand stone reef near Ramasewaram coast. A memorandum submitted to the Central Committee on Sethu Samudram Ship Canal project by the State Government on August 1981 pointed out that the waterway will afford secret and sheltered alleyway for our Naval ships and Coast Guard vessels. Otherwise, they will enjoy to suffer exposure to the foreign countries in the Indian Ocean and also suffer more wear and scratch voyaging around Srilanka.
The distance between Cape Comerin and Chennai would be reduced to 402 nautical miles from the present 755 after the completion of the project. The distance between Cape Comerin and Vizag will be 719 nautical miles against the present 1014, between Cape Comerin and Calcutta 1098(1357), Tuticorin and Chennai 335(769). Tuticorin and Vizag 652(1028), Tuticorin and Calcutta 1031(1371). Apart from effecting savings contained by fuel the project is expected to provide a tremendous boost to the economic and industrial nouns of coastal Tamil Nadu. The project will be of particular significance to the Tutucorin dock, which has the potential to transform itself into a nodal port such as Singapore and Colombo. The State Government have announced its proposal to develop 13 minor ports, including Ennore, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thondi, Valinokam, Colachel and Kanyakumari. And the Sethu samudram canal will augment coastal shipping. There is also a possibility of introducing passenger and freight services along the coast.
The normally drought prone Ramanathapuram district will be the central beneficiary of the project in vocabulary of providing employment. The maritime skills of the relations living in the Rameshwaram and Pamban areas could be harmonized for the nouns of the region. There is also the scope for the nouns of a major port approaching Port Said of the Suez Canal in the district. Apart from on the way the fishing trade, the canal will be a chief tourist attraction.
Though there have been a noisy demand from different quarters for the completing of the project, there is also hostility to it. albeit in low pitch from environmentalists. They point out that the dredging of the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar would endanger precious nautical species and wealth. However certified environment clearance has be given for the project. The contention that the Sethu Samudram canal will cut through coral reefs and disturb the ecology as a mistaken consternation. Since the coast is either clayey or sandy contained by nature the ecology will not be in danger of extinction, it has be pointed out.
The announcement of the Defense Minister and the commitment demonstrated by the Planning Commission has raise hopes of the people of south Tamil Nadu.

In one such union held at Tuticorin, N.Nandhivarman General Secretary Dravida Peravai translated the speech of Union Defense Minister George Fernandes.
That was on 6.1.1999. Then elections come in the approach. Again when Nandhivarman stressed the necessity to include Sethu Samudram project in National Democratic Alliance Manifesto, the President of Samata Party George Fernandes contained by a letter dated August 5-1999 wrote: "The matter pertaining to interlinking of rivers and related issues did figure within the last conference of NDA. Sethu Samudram cannot be discussed at that moment as that would violate the code. However you can be rest assured that once the NDA is returned to power these items will be high on the agenda of the senate."
National Democratic Alliance came to power. and Comrade George Fernandes be kind plenty to recommend to the Union Surface Transport Minister Nitish Kumar on his own the need to appoint Nandhivarman as one of the Trustees of Tuticorin Port Trust. Participating the within 4 th ordinary talks of the Board of Trustees for the year 2000-2001 held on 25 th August 2000 Nandhivarman's observations as per the agenda papers are as follows:
"Mr.Nandhivarman enquired just about the stage at which the Sethu Samudram project stood. according to information available to him, a Belgian company was passionate to take up the project on B.O.T.Basis. The Chairman explained that the firms surrounded by Belgium and Holland were interested surrounded by the project because of the large dredging component. The operation and keep of the canal after its construction would be fairly expensive and therefore, it is called for to study the traffic and income potential in detail until that time venturing into it. Therefore adjectives these aspects were person studied by the Government and once it is found to be commercially feasible project next the Government could take a result on how to implement it"
Meanwhile in the Board the NEERI Report be tabled to inform the Board of Trustees of Tuticurin Port Trust
Initial Environmental Examination of Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project prepared by National Environmental Engineering Institute - Nagpur
(December 1998) .
The executive summary in verbatim is given below:
Preamble:
1. India does not own, within her own territorial waters, a continuous navigable route around the peninsula due to the presence of a shallow(3.5m) coral reef call " Adams Bridge" at Pamban near Rameshwaram between the south eastern coast of India and Talaimannar of Srilanka. Consequently the ships calling at Ports on the East Coast of India own to go around Sri Lanka entail an additional distance of more than 400 nautical miles and 36 hours of ship time.
2. The Sethu Samudram Ship Canal Project, presently under the consideration of the Ministry of Surface Transport, Government of India envisages construction of a ship waterway of varying lengths to suit different drafts (30', 31' and 35') through dredging/excavation. The strait will originate from Tuticorin up to date harbour surrounded by the Gulf of Mannar extend north east in straight rank up to Mansfield pitch south of Pamban island, then cut through the island east of the Kodandaramasamy temple and thereafter turning north east, proceed parallel to the International Medial string as the Bay of Bengal Channel.
3. Different alignments for the proposed canal be considered, and in the wispy of representations from the public, the fishermen and the pilgrims, the alignment through the island about 4 km east of Kodandaramasamy Temple have been proposed.
4. The Tuticorin Port Trust, the nodal agency identified for the completing of the project, in pursuance of its finding to incorporate environmental considerations in the design phase of the project, retained, within March 1998, the National environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) to conduct the Initial Environmental Examination of the project.
5. This report presents briefly the project setting, describes the baseline environmental status of the project area, identify environmental issues, predicts and evaluates impacts due to the proposed strait project.
6. The Initial Environmental Examination has primarily drawn upon the available information on the proposed project., the hydrograph, naval water element and ecological resources within the project area, and the primary information generated for one season during the course of the study. a comprehensive environmental impact study beside intensive data collection covering adjectives seasons of the year is essential for a fuller description and appreciation of the inborn processes occurring in the study nouns, and to delineate the environmental consequences including the ecological risk associated near the proposed project.
Project Setting
7. The proposed Sethusamudram Ship canal will own two legs, one near the Point Calimere call the Bay of Bengal channel and the other across the dictatorial Dhanushkody Peninsula near Kodandaramasamy temple. The waterway will cut the existing road connecting Rameswaram and Danushkody. The Bay of Bengal channel traverses the Palk creek wherein the sea bed is mostly soft to intricate clayey stand in make-up. The entire coast of Danushkody peninsula on the North and South is all sandy.
8. In totalling to the construction of the proposed ship canal, several infra-structural facilities are envisaged underneath the project. These include the construction of a lock rubble mound breakwaters on either side of the park canal, navigational aids, flotilla, shore services and staff and administration buildings.
9. As per the study of Pallavan Transport Consultancy Services Ltd, the estimated cost (1994prices) of dredging sundry segments of the Channel for three different drafts viz 30', 31' and 35' is Rupees 478 crores, Rupees 549 crores and Rupees 965 crores respectively. The estimated cost of adjectives the project components including the navigational aids and floating crafts is Rupees 685 crores, Rupees 760 crores,and Rupees 1200 crores respectively. The construction period will be just about 4 to 6 years. Based on the Net Present Value (NPV) method of appraisal, with an interest rate of 9% per annum, an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 10 to 17% on the investment have been estimated. The project will start generate a surplus from the 16 th to 17 th year of its operation.
EA Requirements
10. In keeping with the disposition and magnitude of the investment programme, the proposed Sethusamudram Ship Canal project would trickle under category A of the World Bank classification and hence would require full EA.
11. At the national stratum the environmental clearance to the project is subject to compliance with the stipulated safeguard under the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act 1986, Forest( Conservation) Act 1980, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974,The Water ( Prevention and Control of Pollution) Rules 1975, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act 1977, The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Rule 1978, The Water( Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1981, and other rules and regulations within force. Land Use on the coastline will be subject to regulation as per Coastal Regulation Zone Notification issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India under the Environment Protection Act 1986. This notification is administered by the State Pollution Control Board.
12. The Wild Life (Protection) Act of India (1972) provides decriminalized protection to many submarine animals including reef associated orgasms. Chapter IV of this Act dealing with sanctuary, National Parks, Game Reserves and Closed Areas is equally applicable to marine reserves and sailing parks and biospheres.
13. The Tamil Nadu Pearl and Chunk Fisheries Rules 1978 of the Indian Fisheries Act 1897 prohibits harvesting of pearl oysters and chunks contained by specified areas except under a license granted below the rules.
14.Under Section 5 of the Tamil Nadu Marine Fishing Regulation Act 1983 the State government can regulate, restrict or prohibit fishing contained by any specified area, the type of fishing gear that can be used, and also the class of fishing vessel that can operate in any nouns.
15. The Tamil Nadu State environmental Committee is the apex advisory body constituted by the Government ( G.O Ms.No.10 dated December 12, 1983) in the business of protection of environment in the state. Development projects costing over Rupees 50 million are subject to review and clearance by this committee( GTN G.O Ms.No.161 dated September 26, 1988).
16.Through an executive communication from the Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of environment and Forests to the Chief Secretary, Government of Tamil Nadu, the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve have been notify in 1989. There is however no legislation as even so on the biosphere reserve either at the national or at state height.
17. Acquisition of private lands for the project will be governed by the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act of 1894/The Tamil Nadu Requisitioning and acquisitioning of Immovable property Act of 1956.
18. Resettlement and Rehabilitation, if any, due to the project have to be addressed inside the broad framework of the World Bank Operational Directive O.D 4.30 or as per existing provisions of the Tamil Nadu Government whichever is applicable.
19. As per the MEF, Government of India notification dated April 10, 1997, Public Hearing is mandatory for environmental clearance of projects. The notification has also laid down the procedure for Public Hearing.
20.During the functioning phase of the project, the most important instrument to be complied next to relates to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from ships 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978 to which India is a signatory.
ENVIRONMENT SETTING
21. Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar covering an area of 10,500 kms surrounded by which the proposed ship canal is to be constructed are biologically rich and rate among the highly productive sea of the world. Its diversity is considered globally significant. In the Gulf of Mannar between the coastline and the proposed alignment at hand are 21 islands which have be declared as National Marine Parks by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department and the MEF, Government of India. Van tivu is the nearest island about 6 kms from the proposed strait alignment in the Tuticorin nouns and Shingle is the nearest about 12 kms island contained by the Rameshwaram area.
22.As for hydrograph, in that are two circulations of water piles in the Bay of Bengal contained by the clockwise circulation of the south-west monsoon and the counter clockwise circulation of the north-east monsoon. The reported current velocities contained by the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar are as mild as 0.2 m-0.4m/sec except on few days during south-west monsoon when it rises up to 0.7 m/sec. The directions of the currents follow the direction of prominent winds. The analysis of current facts shows no potential threats to siltation of the canal.
23. Primary background on physic-chemical characteristics and marine biological resources be collected from April 29- May 10, 1998 from 10 sampling stations along the 50 kilometer long alignment and 20 stations, 5 km on either side of respectively of the aforementioned 10 stations. Data on hydrodynamics was generate on July 10-11of 1998 at 10 locations in the study domain beside the assistance of the Staff of the Chief Hydrographic Surveyor of India, Dehradun. The present bathymetry is assumed to be not significantly different from the bathymetry data depicted contained by Naval Chart 317.
24.Primary data on physical-chemical characteristics of ocean water shows no significant oscillation in alkalinity (102-106 mg/L) and pH (8.0-8.2) along the proposed strait alignment. The DO values varied from 3.2 to 5.7 mg/Ll and the silicates from 0.003 mg/L to 0.017 mg/L. No significant oscillation in salinity be observed between surface and bottom samples. An inverse relationship between salinity and silicates be observed. The concentrations of heavy metals except iron, boron, and arsenic be below detectable limits.
25. The gross primary productivity values along the proposed strait alignment varied from 142 to 472 mg C/m3/day indicating that Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Straits are a biologically productive region. The zooplankton be dominated by copepod. Macro benthos were represented by 78 variety exhibiting fairly dutiful diversity. The meiofauna comprised larval polychaetes, nematodes, worms and shrunken bodies of a few forms.
26. Sediment samples collected along the proposed conduit alignment showed the presence of organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorous and sulphates contained by concentrations adequate for biological growth. Almost adjectives the sediment samples have oil and grease. The concentration of solid metals were illustrious in some of the sediment sample from the Palk Bay as compared to the samples from other locations.
27. The presence of corals along the proposed ship waterway alignment is negligible. Occurrence of highest group of biological resources like marine fan, sponges, pearl, oysters, chunks, and holothurians at many sampling points has be recorded. In broad, the density of economically/ecologically important species along the proposed alignment is not significant.
28. All the three group of prochordata organisms considered as the connecting knit between invertebrates and vertebrates via, hermichordata,cephalochordata and unorchordata comprising 1, 6 and 59 species respectively were record mostly around the islands of Gulf of Mannar.
29.There are 87 fish landing stations between the South of Point Calimere and Pamban in the Palk Bay and 40 stations within the Gulf of Mannar between Pamban and Tuticorin. Out of 600 varieties of fishes record in this nouns, 72 are commercially important. During 1992-1996, the fish production have increased gradually from 55325 tones within 1992 to 102897 tones in 1996.
30.Non conventional fishing within the region is represented by pearl, chunk, sea weed, ornamental shells and holothurians. There have been a falling trend in the production of these organisms as evidenced by the revenue received by MPEDA.
31. Rare and in danger of extinction species of sea turtle, dolphin, deep-sea cow, and whale are recorded surrounded by the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay. The sea cow inhabitants the shallow shore regions where on earth grass occurs, while in danger of extinction animals mostly prefer deep deep-sea far away from the proposed alignment.
32. Several species of green algae(32), red algae (59) blue-green algae (3) and sea grasses are record in the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay. A few of the 21 islands are reported to possess patch of mangroves predominated by avicennia sp. and Rhizophora sp.
33. Most of the habitats of the sensitive biota viz corals, pearls, oysters, chunks, dugong, holothurians, and maritime algae are along the coast and around the 21 islands and mostly away from the proposed canal alignment.
34.Based on an analysis and interpretation of IRS IC LISS-III satellite information (Path 102 and Row 67 dated 19.05.1998 in disc ROM about 20 square kilometers of Pamban island, barren sandy areas (35 sq, kms) between Pamban island and coastal block of Mandapam and an area (329 sq.kms) close to the National Highway (NH 49) from Rameshwaram to Madurai own been identified as potential sites for disposal of dredged things.
35. There are no archaeologically significant structures along the proposed canal alignment. However here exists a probability of cultural/archaeological artifacts being encounter during the excavation of the canal.
36.Along the coast of Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Bay here are 138 villages and towns spread over 5 districts. The socio-economic profile of the fisherman surrounded by the villages of Gulf of Mannar coast is low and more than 40 % of family are in debt. While the local population kindness the project, they have an apprehension that the construction of the conduit might result in downgrading in their fishery income.
Impacts due to the Project
37. The locations of the proposed manor based structures and the extent of required construction are all the same to be firmed up. Likewise the potential sites for disposal of dredged material are however to be decided. Hence, the pre-construction phase impact due to house acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation of artificial population as also compensation, if any, cannot be assessed at this juncture.
38. As the proposed alignment is more than 5 kms away from the existing 21 National Marine Parks in the Gulf of Mannar, the ocean floor biological resources around the islands will not be affected to any significant rank.
39. The existing level of primary productivity surrounded by the project area will remain practically unaltered during the construction and operation phase of the ship canal. There would not be any significant evolution in the marine quality including turbidity due to the proposed deployment of trailer suction hopper dredgers and cutter booth dredgers for capital and care dredging.
40. Due to the dredging the bottom flora and fauna on an area approximately 25 sq.kms along the conduit alignment will be lost permanently. This loss however will be completely insignificant compared to the total area of 10,500 sq,km of the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve.
41. During the construction of the home portion of the canal and the shore base structures there will be considerable increase within the rail and road traffic to and from the island for transportation of men, textile, machinery and equipment. These would lead to congestion of traffic and increased level of air and hum pollution with their associated impact on the public.
42. Due to the construction of the waterway, the land access, presently available to the local fisher folk, to Dhanushkody area for traditional fishing will be hindered unless alternative arrangements are made. The dredging and shipping operation will have to be so regulated as to grounds minimum disturbance to the normal fishing endeavours.
43.Hydrodynamic modeling studies using Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport (DIVAST) model have shown that for the topmost spring tidal water conditions within will be no significant change surrounded by the magnitude and direction of the current velocity along the proposed alignment due to the construction of the canal.
44. During the construction and operation phases of the waterway, the potential sources of marine pollution are spillage of grease and grease, marine litter, jetsam and flotsam including plastic stacks, discarded articles of human use from the sea borne vessel which will have to be controlled.
45. The strait may facilitate the movement of fishes and other biota from the Bay of Bengal to the Indian Ocean and vice versa. By this way, the entry of oceanic and alien species into the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar as also dispersal of endemic species outside the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar could come to pass.
46. The canal will establish a continuous navigable deep-sea route around the peninsular coast within Indian territorial waters cut back shipping distance by about 400 nautical miles and voyage time of 36 hours, as also the attendant operating costs. The strait will become a valuable asset from national defense and indemnity points of view, enable easier and quicker access between the coasts.
47. Once the canal is contained by place, the clandestine and illegal goings-on in the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar will be minimized due to constant vigilance and regulation of movement of ships and vessel.
48. The project will provide employment opportunities and avenues of optional income through establishment of small ancillary industries. The project will also trigger development of coastal trade between the Ports of the South and North of Rameshwaram consequently reducing the nouns and congestion on railways and roadways.
49. The project will help squirrel away considerable foreign exchange through reduction surrounded by oil introduction bill and generate revenue income from dues levied on ships transiting the waterway which will add to the national discount.
Analysis of Alternatives
50. Five alternative routes for the construction of Sethusamudram ship canal be considered. Based on the evaluation of impacts of the project during construction and operation phases, the alignment (4) suggested by the Steering Committee fundamental the Moonru Iruppu Chatram has be identified as the best alternative (Refer: Fig.5.16) which will cause the smallest damage to the biota and the environment.
This report is not the first of its charitable. For 140 years many such reports be gathering dust. N.Nandhivarman General Secretary Dravida Peravai contained by a Memorandum personally hand over to Union Defense Minister George Fernandes at Delhi on 22.02.2001 and published in World page of Dinamani Tamil on a daily basis dated 23rd February 2001. In verbatim it is reproduced here:
Presenting last year's Union budget (2000-2001) The Honorable Union Minister of Finance be kind adequate to announce in the floor of Parliament as : "Hon'ble member are aware that the Sethu Samudram Ship Canal project has the potential of providing a shorter route between the East and West coast Ports. I am glad to inform that Government have approved the undertaking of a detailed feasibility study and environmental impact assessment of the project at a total cost of Rs 4.8 crore. I enjoy made necessary provision for this contained by the budget."
"Though it is in the manifesto of the National Democratic alliance and almost adjectives leaders of Tamil Nadu have demanded this project, nil emerges out of these promises, I am sorry to point out. The Union Finance Minister's budgetary announcement be hailed as a great realization because after having be conceived 140 years back, within appeared to be light at the running out of the tunnel. But in spite of the recent promise made by the Prime Minister, I am sorry to vote, it is going to be a chase of the mirage. I, as one of the Trustees to the Tuticorin Port Trust, the nodal agency to implement this project had be raising this issue within the board meetings. Quoting from the minutes of the Tuticorin Port Trust, it become evident that the nodal agency have no information or plans, while once again election platforms will hear promises galore from personality. About 20 expert committees have conducted detailed studies and come to the conclusion that the scheme is technically practical and economically viable.

Now that it become clear that all these expert committees own found the project feasible, the one constituted surrounded by the allocation made by the Union Minister would have also hold endorsed the same vista.
Way back contained by 1860 when the Suez Canal was on the drawing board the British Maritime pioneers have discovered that a shipping canal bad Rameshwaram coast will save approximately 36 hours of sailing time between Madras and Tuticorin and mute the distance by 434 nautical miles i.e about 803 kms. The most recent in the series of studies is by the Tamil Nadu Government owned Pallavan Consultancy Services, which say in its Report on March 1996 that "the project can be completed at an estimated wherewithal cost (1996 price) of Rs 685 crore, Rs 760 crore,and Rs 1200 crore for a canal of 30 foot, 31 feeet, and 35 feet draft respectively. The payback time is 17 years, and thereafter the benefit from the canal project would be Rs 47 crore surrounded by the first year and Rs 100 to Rs 120 crore in the subsequent years. According to the 1996 ratings yield of foreign exchange is estimated at Rs 35 crore besides a reduction surrounded by fuel import by Rs 200 crore. The approved Sethu Canal alignment envisages the creation of a 180 km long and 200 meters general canal to connect the Gulf of Mannar beside the Palk Straits off Rameshwaram contained by Tamil Nadu. But major dredging requirements only to be done single for about 15 kms on Mannar side and 12 kms on the Palk Bay side since a colloquial shipping canal already exists nearby.
In view of the financial benefits that will generate prosperity to Southern Tamil Nad,We urge the Union Government to give the travel ahead or speed up negotiations to foot over the project too private sector under B.O.T.Basis. Nanguneri Free Trade Zone inaugurated just now is in the hard by vicinity. Unless infrastructure projects of gigantic outlook like Sethu Canal project are taken up it will not get done the required prosperity in our times.
We merely urge what the NDA Manifesto promises, what the Prime Minister promised to the people of Tamil Nadu contained by a Marumalarchi DMK rally at Chennai, what have been incorporated contained by the previous years budget, what had be announced by the Union Defense Minister in Rameshwaram and Tuticorin on 6.1.1999 and contained by which as translator of his speech, I have little memory departed to recall that promise, to be fulfilled up to that time the Assembly elections ahead, as after having wait for 141 years for this project, the people of Tamil Nadu must bring back it.". Thus Dravida Peravai urged the Union Government.
Close on the heels of submission of this memorandum, the Union Budget was presented for the year 2001-2002. Dinamani, Tamil day after day in its front page published the salient features of the budget. In like front page it pointed out that no funds were allocated for the Sethu Samudram project. The funds allocated for the year 2000-2001were not utilized since a comprehensive practicality study for which those funds were earmark was not undertake during that financial year. Dinamani recalled Nandhivarman's junction with Union Defence Minister previous week within this connection and said as fear , in budget no funds be allocated for Sethu samudram project. It also stated MDMK General Secretary Vaiko expressed disappointment over this lacunae. Subsequently Junior Vikatan published a story in its issue of 14 th March 2001.Then nearby were protests from adjectives quarters.
Meanwhile Srilanka suddenly announced that India and Srilanka will deal with a feasibility study to construct a Hanuman Bridge across the Palk straits. Srilankan Investment Corporation Chairperson Mr.Jayasoorya have said that the feasibility is over and soon India and Srilanka are going to put their signatures for green signaling this project at a cost of Rs.4000 crores. According to that project a six road track for road and rail traffic be mooted. The distance of 29.2 kilometers between Thalaimannar and Dhanushkody will be connected by this bridge. Sweden and Denmark have a ocean bridge for 23 kilometers. If this bridge is completed it will beat that transcription, Sri lanka proclaimed.
Dravida Peravai criticized this project as a BERLIN WALL ACROSS THE PALK STRAITS PLANNED TO SEND SETHU SAMUDRAM PROJECT FOR BURIAL. In Parliament the Rajya Sabha member from Pondicherry Mr.C.P.Thirunavukkarasu ( DMK ) raise his voice against this project. The Swadeshi Protection Movement organized protest in front of Memorial Hall Chennai. MDMK General Secretary Vaiko wrote to the Center protesting this plan.

Last date for receipt be extended to December 15, 2001. The Chairman of Tuticorin Port Trust said in the medium that the feasibility study will be over by April 2002. In this process matching National Environment Engineering Research Institute was preferred and it gave its Report. Acting on that report, National Democratic Alliance rule did not do anything.
2004 POLLS: Unprecedented victory of adjectives 40 seats contained by Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam led Alliance resulted within United Progressive Alliance coming to power. The DMK nominee in the cabinet holding Shipping & Surface Transport portfolio Mr.T.R.Baalu used adjectives persuasive powers at his command to get a cabinet nod for this project. Union Finance Minister P.Chidambaram too did his best to see this project become a genuineness. And meanwhile in public hearing on this project politically motivated vested interests plotted to raise hue and cry against this project. To politically deny credit to DMK Ministers every endeavour was taken.

During the NDA rule, when advaniji held powerful position, the Sethusamudram Project, was official in principle. Further studies be commissioned for alignment of all possible routes, near least misdeed to environment and maximum economic benefit.
Only presently, the route has be identified under the pressure of DMK. To entertain the iconoclast hunches of few leaders of anti-Hindu, self-declared atheist leaders like Karunanidhi, the route is rabidly stressed to demolish the Ramar Sethu, only just for intentionally hurting Hindu sentiments.
As for Ayodhya matter, it be not the government which demolished the structure, and the issue is sub-judice, with prosecutions launch and Commission of Enquiry set-up. In the case of Ramar Sethu, the DMK minister egged on by his mentor CM, is pressurising the Union establishment to demolish it by State action. The two issues are on different footing.
As for the gruesome murder of Orissa, cited surrounded by the question, to my culture, so far, no political leader of pressure has any justified the criminal feat or supported the culprit(s). This matter too is sub-jusice and as of presently conviction and sentencing done as per due process of law.
No comment possible on sub-judice matter. The issue of Ramar Sethu too, has be engaging attention of the judiciary, surrounded by a PIL.

The law of jungle say that any animal who is more powerful and dominant will face it's extinction short enemies. The lion, tiger resembling animals are now countable within numbers. But the goat, deer, cow, rabbit etc they become food for others. They have be killed by every frenzied animal. Still their race never ends.
So you don't own to worry going on for getting killed.
The BJP is not against the sethu project per se it is against demolishing of an ancient formation to build a modern project contained by view of sentiments of hindus.
The attack on graham staines have been deal with as per the canon of the land and the accuse has be sentenced.
Babri masjid is controversial in scenery of its location at ayodhya but no others mosqes have be demolished. People who live in india obligation to respect the sentiments of the majority community as minorities respect the views of majority surrounded by islamic countries. Why make a hue and cry something like babri when taliban has demolished the ancient statues at bamiyan contained by afghanisthan when all closer govts. or rulers have treated them as national treasures. If the hold out to relocate the mosque at a different place had be accepted here would have be peace. You are making such a hue and cry about one isolated incident, can you see in your mind`s eye how many temple and idols be desecrated and destroyed by invading islamic armies for the purpose of plunder ? Forget the past and cram to live in triad and peace.
If you maintain a rabid anti hindu stance it is unachievable to live in peace within hindustan why not try relocating to afghanistan and help bin weighted down ?

A qeustion about a sex perpetrator..?
Hi, I have a request for information about a neighbor of mine..He is 45 yrs elderly, I started noticing for awhile very soon that he always hang out with teenagers, mostly babyish girls alot.

formersheriff's deputy
It is not against the regulation to post flyers concerning REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS. Just be sure of your facts. Go to the police station and ask if this person is registered, thieve the print out with you to confirm your suspecions. It may be he did not register next to the local PD and is in betrayal of his court order. As you enjoy such a concern you are obligated to protect your family, friends and your neighborhood. You may even obtain him to move if you protest.
Dr. Tommy Skelton
All registered sex offenders are required label their neighbors aware of their criminal history. Call your local police department, and ask them about the law, but I would print out at least 1 copy of the page, and endow with it to the girlfriend while he's not around for her child's' safety. Even if the police enunciate you can't put up the fliers, I'd still write down the URL of his page, and discretely pass it out to my neighbors. I don't know why but some those actually believe offender can be rehabilitated, but I sure as hell don't.
