  1. Dear Priti,

    Here’s a rundown on the advantages of having the bridge made ‘ween India and SriLanka.

    The sethusamudram channel will connect the bay and the gulf as a single entity for movement. That will positively impact on commercial, fisheries, energy, environmental and security-related activities. Considering these are designated historic waters between India and Sri Lanka under the UNCLOS (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982), the share is exclusive to both the countries along the median line. Historically, countries contiguous to commercial shipping channels have benefited substantially. There could be apprehensions on security, safety, environment, resource-exploitation and even the economic viability of the project. The channel should be able to limit the unlawful activities in the Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar since the existing maritime MCSR regime (monitoring, control, surveillance and response) will naturally get upgraded once the channel is commissioned. There will be more effective control over unlawful activities, fisheries issues, energy exploration and environment in the area that will be better administered in the wake of the shipping channel. Both Tuticorin and Colombo ports and the secondary ports between Chennai and Nagapattinam stand to benefit.

    Hope to read your thoughts soon on this space.
