The Hindu
Leaders of the Opposition parties on Saturday resolved to step up agitation to press for a ₹25,000 crore public sector port at Ramayapatnam to spur economic growth in the backward district of Prakasam.
After Union Minister for ports Mansukh Mandaviya, in a reply to a question in the Parliament, expressed inability to fund a non-major port(NMP) at Ramayapatnam, leaders at a roundtable convened by Prakasam District Development Forum(PDDF) president Ch. Ranga Rao exhorted the YSR Congress Party government to exert pressure on the Central government to take up the port, as is promised in the State Reorganisation Act, in Ramayapatnam in the wake of the latter expressing reservation over taking up the project at Dugarajapatnam in Nellore district.
