Mumbai. The country is going to have the largest deep sea port. In the month of June this year, the Modi government at the Center gave the green signal to build the Vadhavan port in Maharashtra. The total cost of the Vadhavan port to be built in Palghar district of Maharashtra has been estimated at Rs 76000 crore. Vadhavan Port is going to be one of the largest deep sea ports in the country. Huge container ships will be able to come and go here. This will lead to further progress of India in the field of exports and valuable foreign exchange will also be obtained. In the local language it is called Vadhavan Port. The central government believes that the construction of Vadhavan Port in Maharashtra will also increase business and industries in the surrounding area. Export based units will be rapidly set up in this area. Apart from this, employment opportunities will also be available due to the construction of Vadhavan Port.
Vadhavan Port will be built near Dahanu city in Palghar district of Maharashtra. The specialty of Vadhavan Port will be that it will be on the route of ships passing through the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean and will provide direct connectivity. This will reduce the transit time of ships and the work of transporting goods from one country to another can be done easily at a low cost. Vadhavan Port will be run with the help of state-of-the-art technology. Its infrastructure will be unmatched. Ships will be able to anchor at their berths here in the deep sea. Ships will also get state-of-the-art facilities here for handling cargo. Along with this, the management work of Vadhavan Port will also be run with a state-of-the-art system.
There was also a movement against the construction of the Vadhavan port. People had strongly opposed the construction of the Vadhavan port due to the fear of damage to the environment, but later the government decided that the technology that causes minimum damage to the environment will be used in the construction of the Vadhavan port. Due to this, there will be very little danger to the ecology. Usually, the ecosystem has to be tampered with to build a port, but in the construction of the Vadhavan port, its strict standards are going to be followed. Due to this, the movement against the Vadhavan port stopped.
