Transport minister Nitin Gadkari rules out demolition of Ram Sethu

Rameswaram, Nov 5 (ANI): Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has ruled out any possibility of demolishing the Ram Sethu between Indian coast and Sri Lanka for construction of Sethusamudram Shipping Channel Project in Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. The $560-million project is intended to shave up to 36 hours off ship journeys between India's western and eastern coasts. The previous Congress party-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government had a plan to build a canal through a bridge-like stretch of sandbanks and rocks between the Indian coast and Sri Lanka a formation variously known as Adam's Bridge and Ram Sethu, or Ram's Bridge. Some Hindus opposed the project, believing the bridge was built millennia ago by Lord Ram and his army of monkeys, as described in the Ramayana, a revered ancient epic. The then government, in its defence, had stated that the structure was moulded by the ocean. However, Gadkari, while taking an aerial survey of the project, said that the bridge will not be demolished and the BJP-led government will consider alternative alignments for the construction of the project.
