(d): The development  of new Port near Enayam  in Tamil Nadu is held up due to opposition of civic groups.  In so far as Kamarajar Port is concerned, there is delay in execution  of nu. projects for the want of environment clearance.  For Chennai  Port, the Ennoie Manali Road Improvement Project (EMRIP)  is not completed due to non-shifting  of fisheries  communities  from the construction area to the alternate  fishing auction platform exclusively  constructed  for them in the adjacent area.

(e): Government of India has taken several measures/initiatives under Sagarmala  programme for promoting coastal shipping,  cruise tourism, enhancing port connectivity  through  Bhiatmala and ship repair facilities for Ports to boost infrastructure in Ports, Shipping  ura irUrl waterways.
