Mumbai: The Shiv Sena sent out a strong message to the Modi-led government on Friday, not to take the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra for granted in the implementation of the Rs 65,545-crore Vadhavan port project in Palghar district. This has all the portents of a tit for tat, coming as it does in the backdrop of the controversy over the Metro 3 carshed and the BJP stepping up its attack against the MVA government.
At his maiden meeting with the villagers, who are strongly opposing the project on the plea that it would adversely impact fishing, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said the government valued their views and would side with them. ââThe project development wonât happen without your consent and without taking you on board,ââ the CM told the villagers.

Though port development in India hasn’t been impressive, the govt is now taking proactive steps to modernise our ports
Standardised containers were first used to transport cargo by sea on April 26, 1956. During the last over six decades this containerised mode of transport has made a huge impact on global shipping. Lingering trade tensions and high policy uncertainty undermined growth in global economic output and merchandise trade in 2019. Trade volumes expanded by 0.5 per cent in 2019, down from 2.8 per cent in 2018, to 11.8 billion tonnes. In tandem, global container port traffic growth slowed to 2 per cent from 5.1 per cent in 2018.
