Small cargo services from Nagapattinam to Kankesanthurai to begin by January 20
The HinduIn a bid to revitalise trade in Nagapattinam and the neighbouring delta districts, the Nagapattinam district administration is set to launch a small cargo service between Nagapattinam and Kankesanthurai in Sri Lanka by the last week of January. Based on demand and supply, we will explore the possibility of increasing the frequency.” Mr. Akash highlighted the historic significance of Nagapattinam Port in trade: “Exports from Nagapattinam have a rich history, dating back to the Chola period. Mr. Akash told The Hindu that garment industries in Tiruppur and MSMEs from nearby districts, including Tiruchi and Tiruvarur, have shown keen interest in utilising the service. While many exporters from the State rely on ports in Chennai and Thoothukudi, existing customs clearance facilities and proximity to Sri Lanka provide a unique advantage to Nagapattinam.
