Upgradation of the dredging quality of the Kolkata Port navigation channels is one of the top priorities of the Port authorities, said Meena. He further said, “Only three of the five dredging machines sent by the Dredging Corporation of India work properly. We will try to fix certain parameters for dredging standards or dredger’s quality.”
Besides, currently, the dredged soil which is kept very close to the river is washed away by the river water. In a bid to get rid of this problem, three spots at Sagar, Auckland and Rasulpur will be converted as dredging disposal zones, said Meena. He added that the Kolkata Port already has adequate land for the project in those areas and there was no need to acquire any other land.
