Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav sidestepped a query on the proposed multi-billion dollar container port at Vadhavan in Dahanu area of Palghar district which has been routinely opposed by fishermen and tribal communities in the region.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman spoke about Vadhavan port her Budget speech in Parliament on February 1 and the Centre gave its nod for the project on Wednesday.

Thackeray, when asked about the Vadhavan port project on Thursday, said, "Vadhavan port does not come under Kalyan Dombivali limits."
