Rs 136 Crore Sanctioned for Karanja Fishing Harbour Development
What happened
The state government sanctioned Rs 136.76 crore for the development of Karanja Fishing Harbour in Uran. This funding addresses issues caused by heavy silt accumulation that has impacted operations at the harbour. The works, expected to begin in November, include dredging and widening the entrance channel and constructing an additional 370-metre-long wharf wall.

Why it matters
The Karanja fishing harbour handles fish valued at around Rs 550 crore during the fishing season. The silt accumulation previously caused delays of four to six hours during low tide, leading to hundreds of boats being stranded.
Expansion works at Karanja fishery harbour received administrative approval and funding contributions from state and central governments.
