Who exactly is going to use this channel?

Benefits for whom? 

It is unlikely that even shipping companies will benefit, says Capt. H. Balakrishnan, who left the indian Navy in 1990 to join the merchant navy. He has put together a mariner’s report on the project. To begin with, no ship of more than 30,000 tonnage will be able to use this channel because of its depth.

“Since this channel is just 12m deep, and you have to leave at least 2m space between the bottom of the ship and the seabed, only ships that sink 10m below the water can use it. Which means, the maximum weight these ships can carry is 30,000 tonnes,” Balakrishnan explains. International ships and big ships weigh at least 45,000 tonnes. Bigger the ship, lower the freight.

Questions raised by HinduJagruti.org 

1. Why was the route of Metro passing ‘close’ Qutub Minar in New Delhi was abandoned and later reworked fearing prospective damages to this 815 years man made monument?

2. Why the project of Taj corridor (which would have made lot of dollars to our money minded govt) was put off after the hue and cry of environmentalists as the construction near Taj ‘may’ cause bad effect on this 359 years old man made monument. Please give attention here that these monuments were not going to be destroyed but were ‘feared’ to get damaged.

3. Will any government in China would destroy or even alter The great wall of China(2695 years old) for the sake of any amount of money?

4. Will any one allow pulling down 4507 years old Pyramids of Egypt in lieu of any uncountable amount of money?

If the answer is NO, then why this thousands years old man made monument is being destroyed for the sake of some coins?
