This concerns the recent proposal to dredge the Palk Strait and to deepen it so as to allow bigger ships to pass through the Palk Strait, thereby cutting the transit time taken by these ships to get around India. As it is, if that plan were to be put into action, it would only make India all the more vulnerable to terrorists and pirates.
The Palk Strait is a place where the depth of the sea is not much. This way, only ships smaller in size can pass through. The deepening of the Palk Strait leaves much to be desired but is the government listening?
