The Buckingham Canal, stretching 426 km, forms part of
National Waterway-4 and consists of a 316-km northern section between
Pedaganjam and Chennai Central, and a 110-km southern section between Chennai
Central and Marakkanam. The tidal canal currently faces challenges such as dry
stretches during non-monsoon periods and encroachments in several sections.
During a special
mention in Parliament, Mr. Yadav proposed a pilot project featuring a 60-metre
canal corridor alongside a 30-metre road corridor connecting Krishnapatnam Port
and Ramayapatnam Port. He said the project would significantly lower logistics
costs, reduce traffic pressure on National Highways, support five to six nearby
industrial cities, and generate local employment opportunities. Responding to the proposal, Union Minister
for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal said that the Inland
Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) has already undertaken a hydrographic
survey of National Waterway-4, including the Buckingham Canal. He asked the MP
to await the survey findings and also stressed the importance of the State
government’s role in clearing encroachments and restoring damaged canal
infrastructure.
