Curbs on Stone Supply Affecting NH Works; Satheesan Writes to TN CM Vijay for Relaxation
Kerala says the curbs are disrupting stone supplies from three Tamil Nadu districts and could delay national highway projects.
- On Tuesday, Kerala Chief Minister Satheesan urged Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay to ease restrictions on inter-state stone aggregate transportation, citing critical needs for ongoing National Highway projects.
- Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Notification dated July 9 introduced regulations on rough stones, significantly disrupting aggregate supplies from Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, and Kanniyakumari districts to Kerala.
- These aggregates are essential for ongoing National Highway projects providing connectivity to the Vizhinjam International Seaport and International Container Transshipment Terminal at Vallarpadam.
- Satheesan warned the curbs threaten to delay strategically important projects, urging a "balanced approach" that accommodates infrastructure requirements without compromising Tamil Nadu's resource policies.
- Invoking the "spirit of cooperation" between the two states, Satheesan expressed confidence the Tamil Nadu government would resolve the matter expeditiously and positively.
