CM Satheesan envisages turning entire Keralam into an integrated port city
Keralam under the new UDF government is looking to build an integrated port-based logistics network in a way that the entire state becomes one single port city, Chief Minister V D Satheesan has said.
In an interview with PTI Videos here on Friday, Satheesan laid out an elaborate vision for energising the state's economy with a series of projects and investments in aviation, maritime infrastructure, tourism, MSMEs, education and others.
Some of his priorities include expanding the state's aviation and maritime sectors, while ensuring that the proposed share transfer involving Vizhinjam Seaport does not compromise the Keralam's interests or lead to a monopoly, he said.
He said the UDF government had started work on a plan to connect the state's ports and make better use of its 600-km coastline.
"We want to integrate all these ports and make the entire Kerala into a port city," he said, adding that work was progressing with the help of maritime and shipping experts.
