Security fears over foreigners in AP port

Time and again, questions are raised if the current Govt had any clue of what national security is.

And what is the point in passing a right to information act, when the Govt can't answer a former seceretary of economic affairs. God help the poor who don't even know if such an act exists.

From Deccan Chronicle:

New Delhi/Visakhapatnam, May 8: The exit of Dubai Ports World from the Gangavaram port project near the Eastern Naval Command’s headquarters at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and its replacement with another foreign company, the Malaysia-based Integrax Berhad, could still pose a threat to India’s interests, according to analysts who have held senior positions in the government.

A senior analyst said that Gangavaram was only 15 to 20 km from Vizag, which is the hub of India’s nuclear submarine activities. “(It is) therefore a sensitive area from our national security point of view,” he said.
