“In the last week of January, the ministry of shipping made a presentation in this regard before the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). The ministry is now readying the cabinet note to get the policy approved,” reported The Print.
The land now belongs to Mumbai Port Trust (625 acres), Kolkata Port Trust (1,490 acres) and Deendayal Port Trust (6,920 acres).
