NEW DELHI: Communications are on between the West Bengal authorities and the Adani Group over the Tajpur deep-sea portchallenge within the state, which is to be developed by the enterprise conglomerate headed by industrialist Gautam Adani, state minister Shashi Panja stated on Sunday. Addressing a press convention on “West Bengal Day” on the India-International Trade Fair being held right here, Panja stated the challenge is on.

The requisite permissions were then sought from four departments of the government of India — the departments of shipping, defence, home affairs and external affairs,” Panja stated.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs has given a conditional security clearance and made certain observations. The state government and the Adani Group are working on this. We have sought clarifications, communications are on,” she added.
Asked concerning the Adani Group’s absence from the just lately held BGBS, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief stated, “I suppose you can ask them … invitations were there.”
