(Chennai):
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has proposed the
construction of a sea wall along the Tamil Nadu coastline.
Apart from seeking relief of Rs 4,800 crore and 54,000 metric
tons of rice, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has called for
the construction of the sea wall along the state's vulnerable
1076 kilometre coastline from Chennai to Kanyakumari.
Jayalalithaa made the suggestion to Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh during his visit to Chennai on Friday.
"I have made a special request for the construction of a sea
wall along the entire coastline of Tamil Nadu," said
Jayalalithaa.
Promises to the needy
It's a massive project that is estimated to cost Rs 5,000
crore.
Jayalalithaa says the Prime Minister is examining the
possibility of taking a loan from the World Bank or the Asian
Development Bank for this purpose.
"We recognise that 90 per cent of those affected are
fishermen and they need assistance in terms of boats, fishing
nets and housing. We will do our duty to help them," said
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The onus is now on the Centre to put its money where its
promises are.
