New Delhi, 28 May, 2014

Just two days before Narendra Modi’s oath taking function in Delhi, Central Shipping Secretary Vishwapati Trivedi paid sudden visit to central government run Kandla Port Trust.

Trivedi like other secretaries in central government was asked to prepare a presentation of his department by then Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi.

Expecting some questions on Kandla Port from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Trivedi paid visit to Kandla and received details of infrastructure facilities. He visited proposed SEZ area, 13 and 15 number jetties, Tuna Tekra project site and reviewed Kandla Port Trust’s performance. He also discussed what should be done by central government to make the port more efficient.
