Techcity, spl Thanks for your kind info. I got the news in Hindu. this aug 19th, news.
After that, (last week i think, i saw the news in dinamalar, i will find out and give to u guys later) Same Swaminathan said n all Tamil dailies published and says that, there is a rumour going on MDU - Rameshwaram project dropped due to no land, and requested all dont spread the rumours against the project, as it is not dropped, nhai going to do the project.
Please see this nhai link. nhai is pumping huge amount 1212 Crores just for 186 kms.

BEAUTY of this project, Nhai is going to construct one more PAMBAN bridge adjacent to the present pamban. that's why cost is toooo much 1212 Crs just for 180 kms. so Pamban bridge will be 4 lanned!!.:banana:
at present, there is no road to dhanuskodi, nhai will extend the road from Rameshwaram to dhanuskodi along the ocean bed. (that too 4 lanes):banana:
only Major change in this project is :
nhai is not going to wide the existing 2 lanes from madu - ramnad road. bcas there is no land to do that. in the present road, one side is vaigai river and another side MDU - Ramnad BG track. inbetween these, river - road - track, there is a only small land. there are 100s of villages, towns exists in this small land.
Hence, nhai will not go and touch this road, instead, they are going to construct new road just North side of Vaigai river.
This road will start from Madurai - TRY 4 lane meeting point at MIBT - Ring road, from there it will go Singampunari town - then it will cross vaigai river, - then paramakudi - then it will go towards Ramnad, rameshwaram, dhanuskodi on 4 lanes.
i m keep watching this project and reading all relative news on this road project, as i
t is going to change the face of Ramnad and Sivaganga dists.
As an Indian, I dont accept Nhai is pumping huggggge cost 1300 crs on this road, it doesnt make sense to me, bcas there will not be enough revenue to get this money back. moreover, Sivaganga and ramnad are poor dists, nothing is there, all empty dry land. what is there in rameshwaram and dhanuskodi to get 4 lane. Nothing, there is no traffic for 4 lane. it is dead end!
But as a Tamil and maduriate, i would welcome this HUGE project going to happen in the poor dist like Ramnad in south TN, this is only big Project Central and State govt r doing after 50 years of Independance in the district.
HENCE, MDU - Dhanuskodi 4 lannning is still on the pipeline. please see below news for proofs.
