What happened
The government has initiated plans for a mineral corridor in Kollam and blue economy activities in Alappuzha. These plans are part of a broader effort to integrate the state's ports and utilize its 600-km coastline. The state also aims to shift 50% of cargo movement from roads to sea to reduce traffic congestion.
