Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy on Saturday said he had made out a strong case to the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) to expedite the dredging work at the Thengaithittu fishing harbour here.
Asked about the delay in dredging operations, he said he had met senior officials of DCI in Visakhapatnam and asked them to expedite the work so that fishermen did not face any hassles while navigating their boats through the sea mouth.
