<\/a>Tamil Nadu State\u2019s ports will also benefit hugely fromRs. 4-lakh-cr Sagarmala programme: Gadkari<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe need cooperation from State governments for infrastructure development. In Tamil Nadu, unfortunately, we had to terminate two projects,\u201d said Nitin Gadkari, Road Transport, Shipping & Highways Minister. \u201cWe never mix politics with development and development with politics,\u201d claimed Gadkari, speaking at \u2018Breakfast with BusinessLine<\/i> \u2019, an interactive session with senior executives from the corporate sector. But in Tamil Nadu, he said, his Ministry had to give up on the Maduravoyal-Chennai Port elevated road project as there was no progress. Gadkari said he had \u201cwritten many letters to the State government\u201d to no avail.<\/p>\n

Another road project, by L&T, also had to be shelved, said Gadkari, who is touring the State to campaign for the BJP in the Assembly elections, which will be held on May 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need an atmosphere in the country for development of infrastructure. Our government and my ministry look for ways to help develop infrastructure in different States with different political parties but sometimes we are helpless,\u201d he shrugged.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not speaking politically, but I am talking of practical issues such as forest and environment clearances,\u201d claimed Gadkari.<\/p>\n

There is strong political will at the Centre and speedy decision making. Positive cooperation from stake holders will help achieve goals, he said.<\/p>\n

Sagarmala programme<\/b><\/p>\n

Tamil Nadu will be a huge beneficiary under Sagarmala, a Rs. <\/span>4-lakh-crore flagship programme of the Centre envisaging port-led development. Conceived as a 10-year project, he hopes to complete it in five years.<\/p>\n

Gadkari listed out projects totalling more than Rs. <\/span>80,000 crore relating to port and industrial investments in Tamil Nadu. Under Sagarmala, the State will get an LNG terminal at Ennore at a cost of about Rs. <\/span>3,000 crore; at Tuticorin Port, a North Cargo Berth, a foodgrain berth, an additional container berth and a coal jetty are planned.<\/p>\n

Also in the pipeline is the development of ports at Sirkali and Colachel. Work on all of these will start within two years, he said.<\/p>\n

Huge investments are also planned in developing inland waterways using the major rivers in the State, including the Tamiraparani, Manimuttar, Cauvery, Palar, Vaigai and the Bhavani. These present a huge opportunity for private sector investments, he said.<\/p>\n
