Are any of these ports apart from Dhamra even complete? It’s a good idea to connect all these ports but this is jumping the gun literally by a number of years. I personally would love to see the state make use of its long coastline but a dash of cautious optimism is perhaps necessary here.

An appreciable job initiated by the state…. although one remains rather skeptical if KoPT would tone down its territorial limits?
