CM Stalin Unveils Major Fishing Infrastructure Initiatives in Southern Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin recently laid the foundation stone for fishing infrastructure projects worth over ₹600 crore in Kanniyakumari and Thoothukudi districts via video conference.

In Kanniyakumari, the initiative includes the construction of a new fishing harbour at Vaaniyakkudi with an estimated cost of ₹150 crore, alongside the expansion of the Colachel fishing harbour, also budgeted at ₹150 crore.
