Sethusamudram project :Centre tells SC, no damage to be caused to Adam’s Bridge

New Delhi:Replying to a plea filed by Subramanian Swamy asking SC to give direction to centre to “not touch” the mythological Ram Sethu bridge while executing Sethusamudram project, the Centre told the Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, that it will not touch the Ram Sethu bridge, in the “interest of the nation” and if possible, alternate routes will be explored.  In an affidavit filed as a response to BJP leader’s plea, the Centre vouched that the Sethusamudram Canal project will not cause any damage to the bridge.

The Union Ministry of Shipping representing the centre said: “The Government of India intends to explore an alternative to the earlier alignment of Sethusamudram Ship Channel project without affecting or damaging the Adam’s bridge/Ram Sethu in the interest of the nation.”

Additional Solicitor General Pinky Anand requested the bench, to dispose off the plea by taking note of the stand taken by the ministry in the affidavit.
