Many environmentalists says that dredging of the canal may bring natural disaster, tidal waves, and cyclone also that where this dredged material will be disposed of. Should we ignore faith/belief/religion/feelings of millions if it come in the way of progress/technological development?

A detour around Sri Lanka increases the distance by about 250kms max. Plus there is no restriction on number of vessels going on that route. However the SS project will make the speed of vessels go down so much that only about 6-8hrs would be saved. Plus only 10-15 vessels would be allowed in either direction per day. Considering the above and the fact that there is a stark contrast in the ecosystems of BoB and Indian ocean, there will surely be ecological damage of unprecedented volumes. The water flow/current directions are different in both the seas, and this is a natural protection against unwanted tropical filling in the BoB. Lets just forget the religious issue here. The enviro issue itself is just too great to ignore.

The Panama and suez canals made sense. How much are we saving here? This is not a religious issue, just a common sense issue. I personally do not see the point of risking an ecological change.

Despite best EIA, Engineering feasibility and techno-economic studies, development projects will raise local, social, political, ecological and emotional opposition. Ram Samudra Canal Project is being politicised to embarass inept handling of an affidavit in the court. Even Ram would not forgive such badnaami of his name. It isn't that the waters are separated. It isn't that ships aren't sailing. The waters are navigable. It is about dredging to allow larger, Cape or Supertankers and larger naval ships to pass. The project must go ahead. I would like the dredged earth to be used to create an island near Dhanuskodi. It should be include Ram Temple, a wonder of new world, and a large airport to bring in atleast 50 million religious tourists annually. Several ports shoudl be developed to organise eco-tourism, and other water sports...

Wht environmental change ? the fishes can always evolve or adapt to suit the changes... and the dredging is not of the entire Ram setu.

there's always a middle way i fully believe that religion is for benefit and ease of human life on planet earth anything that goes to deteriorate human existence can never be classified as religion so, i strongly hope that we will find a mutually acceptable solution.
