“Kerala terminal may hit Tuticorin port”

Special Correspondent

Chennai: All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) general secretary Jayalalithaa on Friday said that the International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam in Kerala could stifle the growth of southern Tamil Nadu.

In a statement, she said the Tuticorin port was handling cargo consignments from cities such as Tirupur, Erode, Karur, Sivakasi and Coimbatore. When Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's (DMK) T.R. Baalu was Union Shipping Minister, the Centre approved establishment of the ICTT at Vallarpadam near Kochi. It would be functional soon.

There was a possibility that exporters from western cities would use the Vallarpadam terminal, affecting operations at the Tuticorin port leading to economic slowdown in southern districts of the State.
