Land route India to Colombo | |||||||||||||||||
Dear Sirs , whynot a land route shall be thought off. i.e. from Rameshwaram <India> to Thalaimannar <Srilanka> there were contraversial Adam Bridge once existed, may be reconstructed or a new bridge may be laid near by the same. Extra straneous work in filling up with debris to drive the sea water and to make land upto the Srilankan land approach. But nothing is impossible. If this was done the export/import containers can be moved by road also at a short distance instead of by sea ways economically. Alternatively the underground tunnel may be constructed from Indian coast to Srilankan Coast. The road laying on the filled up land would be still economical than this underground tunnel. All subject to Indian Govt.,and Srilankan Government's mutual approval. Such construction may be one time expense but shall be of great logistic support to the shipping & trading community worldwide. Because Colombo is the transit containers hub point for east bound and west bound cargoes. The feeder vessels take the shipping containers from Indian coastal ports to colombo where the mother vessel comes and picks up the accumulated containers. If road movement is available then each containers when stuffed under customs inspection sealings, can move to colombo by road from Vizag, Krishnapatnam, Chennai, Tuticorin, cochin etc., under proper checkposts crossing at Indian territory as well as Srilankan territory in proper form.This may be given a thought please.

The wikipedia article on the Adams bridge makes for very interesting reading. I'd never known of such a thing. Also, some geologist think it was a natural formation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Bridge
As for whether to do it or not, 30 miles is a pretty expensive gap to fill, land or land bridge. Someone will have to do a pretty good p/l statement to find some ROI on that.
Also, rail is a far cheaper way to move containers that roads.
Thanks Sirs, On enumerating this, the bridge either manual or artificial, there is a provision to connect the two countries by land /rail or sea. As wikipedia also exhibits the comments that the making use of land route instead of braking the controversial bridge ethically of morally why not again the thought can be preambled. The initial capitalising may be there. but considering the advantage it produce in trade and logistics. commercial transformation, more acquintances between both countries may be achieved mutually. This bondage shall even make a strong base for Indian Ocean joint territorial region of India and Srilanka for safer sea administration also. Regards Dr V Kumar
