Dugarajapatnam port proposal likely to be junked
Dugarajapatnam Port, which has been a non-starter due to some technical and commercial reasons, may not come up in the district at all. While politicos are blaming the role of Krishnapatnam port for creating hurdles for its expansion activity, officials pass the buck to the State government.
Nellore: Dugarajapatnam Port, which has been a non-starter due to some technical and commercial reasons, may not come up in the district at all. While politicos are blaming the role of Krishnapatnam port for creating hurdles for its expansion activity, officials pass the buck to the State government.
They say the government itself is not interested on the second port which would be naturally owned by the Union government. There are numerous objections for the proposed Port at Dugarajapatnam in the district, which is also having a private port promoted by the C.V.R. Group.
There is Visakhapatnam Port Trust in Vizag and proposed Dugarajapatnam Port would be the second one, which would be owned by the Union government. The State government is also focusing on supporting private ports as it would certainly be a relief to the State exchequer. It feels promoting private ports would be an advantage as it need not have to invest in such projects.
