For clearing the navigation channel falling under the limits of the Beypore port, the sub-port of In Kozhikode port, the port authorities have approached the district collector CA Latha to carry out manual and mechanical dredging.
The requisition has been made following the complete ban imposed by the district collector on all types of mining activities on December 5 following an order issued by the National Green Tribunal (NGT).
The port department then decided to approach the district collector to get special permission as the removal of sand from navigation channel is necessary for the smooth sailing of ships approaching the port.
