"transshipment-port"

Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Great Nicobar Island Project is not linked to defence or a transshipment port but is aimed at benefiting a businessman. He claimed the project threatens rainforests, coral reefs and tribal communities, and urged public opposition

Congress leaders have been flagging concerns over the project, claiming it would have a bearing on the ecology and tribal rights in the region.

Vizhinjam is India’s first dedicated transshipment port and also the country’s first semi-automated port. The deep-water port has been developed by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd
