Public hearing on Adani's revised master plan for Kattupalli port deferred

The company applied for environmental nod for a Rs 4,000 cr port and harbour project that is part of a Rs 53,400 cr master plan

The Thiruvallur district administration has postponed a public hearing on the revised masterplan submitted by Adani for development of Kattupalli port.

According to the administration, the hearing was postponed in order to avoid a gathering in the wake of the Covid pandemic.

The company has applied for environmental clearance for a Rs 4,000-crore port and harbour project that is part of a Rs 53,400-crore masterplan.

Opposition parties have been putting pressure on the Tamil Nadu government to cancel the public hearing on the port – located near Chennai – that was scheduled to be held on January 22.  K Kanimozhi,  MP and senior
