Antony assures central assistance for development of ports

Kannur, Kerala, May 28 : Defence Minister A K Antony today assured Central assistance for the development of Azhikkal Port.

Speaking to reporters here, Mr Antony said he would do everything in his powers to facilitate the Central assitance for the project.

He also said infrastructure development in Cantonment Board areas would be undertaken only with the help of the state government.

Mr Antony said the Centre had extended cooperation to the previous LDF Government as it took only development and growth of the states into consideration and not the party or the Front ruling the state.

He expressed the hope that the current UDF Government in Kerala will extend full cooperation to the Centre.

Mr Antony said if the government, Opposition, industrialists and the bureaucracy worked together, Kerala can become a developed state in ten years.
