A Canal or Lift that enables passage through Adams Bridge or Ramar Palam

 A Canal or Lift that enables passage through Adams Bridge or Ramar Palam


Is it time to think in terms of Constructing a Canal or a Ship Lift that enables smoother passage of Ships through the Adams Bridge or Ramar Palam?


Why?

The distance otherwise traveled by the ships is almost equivalent to the circumference of the Sri Lanka.  


What if a ship lift facility or a canal passage through the Adams bridge or Ramar Palam is enabled?   This means that ships that come to the cost of Kerala, Cochin, Tuticoorin can proceed to Chennai, Vishakapatnam, Kolkatta, Dhaka or other ports in Bay of Bengal and to countries like Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia that doesn't require to completely travelled around Sri Lanka might use this as shorter passage enable faster reachability, distance travel is reduced, economic value is added in TN because of this canal or Ship Lift facility and also fuel consumption by the ships would be reduced (carbon foot print).   


Can TN convince the Republican Government on the Feasibility and the need for this based on the No of Ships crossing region and how much revenue this would generate for TN and the Republican Government due (CGST, SGST or any other charges like Transit Charges (State Transit Charges, Republican Transit Charges) and so on.?  If this is approved then the TN would probably able to generate more revenues to the States Treasury account and indirectly the Republican government would also generate revenues through Transit Charges for it's Treasury account. 


Hope this is positively thought over and considered.  The feasibility study on this and faster implementation might help the nation to invest, recover the cost and to generate profit out of this investment in the long run.  Also, hopefully the Engineering feet or Marvel would take into consideration all global standards and for future expansion of capacity handling, frequency handling and ships dimensions growth in the future is already pre-planned in such a project with huge cost.

What do we think or say about this idea?
