The Hindu
The former civil servants, in their letter, said the Adani proposal would milk the State exchequer, and TN would be saddled with a ‘white elephant’ if it went ahead with the port expansion project
Ten retired civil servants have written to Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan to shelve the Adani-Kattupalli port expansion project contending that it would entail considerable financial risks.
The company had proposed to invest ₹4 000 crore to develop Kattupalli into a 30-berth port. The former civil servants said Adani's proposal is an audacious attempt to milk the State exchequer, and a letter from the company recently brought to light through RTI Act activists hinted at significant risks that the government of Tamil Nadu should be aware of.
