Dhanushkodi

Dhanushkodi area located in Ramanathapuram King’s Gulf Sea is rough most of the days and there is no possibility of setting up a sub-port in this area, in this case a T-shaped fish landing platform of 70 feet width and 70 feet length has been constructed at an estimated cost of 15 crores.

Furious Sea

Fishermen from the area said that if the fish landing platform is built, it will be damaged. But the authorities have not noticed it and have completed the construction of a bridge in the area. Only two months after the bridge was opened for use by fishermen, due to rough seas, fishermen were unable to access the area with boats.

Hurricane

Fishermen themselves avoided using the fish landing, and as the bridge became a selfie spot for tourists and devotees of Dhanushkodi, the stormy winds and waves from rough seas battered the fish landing and the bridge began to get damaged.

Submerged bridge

The bridge was completely closed due to damage, a part of the bridge is damaged and sinking into the sea, the fishermen of Dhanushkodi are lamenting that the authorities have wasted 15 crores despite repeated warnings by the fishermen.
