Tamil Nadu has proposed four fishing harbours in different places in the state as part of promoting the deep-sea fishing and upgrading the relevant facilities for this.
Plans are to set up fishing harbours in four places - Nagapattinam, Poompuhar, Pazhayar and Mookaiyur - to improve the facilities, including storage of fish. State chief minister J Jayalalithaa has granted an administrative sanction for setting up the facility in Poompuhar, according to an official release. Around Rs 6.67 crore has been allocated as an initial sum.
Meanwhile, state highways and minor ports minister Edappadi K Palanisamy has monitored the works on two flyovers, a Rs 80.68-crore one at Vyasarpadi, near Chennai, and a Rs 49.55 crore one at Moolakkadai, along with a Rs 52.66 crore bridge between Ennore and North Chennai.
