Committee to decide on alternative Sethu route

The Indian Government has decided to do a re-think on the Sethusamudram project by finding an alternate route as suggested by the Supreme Court.

On Wednesday, it told the court that a six member expert committee has been appointed to look at an alternate route that will not disturb the Ram Sethu.

The panel will be headed by RK Pachauri.

The SC had earlier asked the Centre to consider a route between the fourth and the fifth alignments for the Sethusamudram project.
