The proposed sea-route "Sethu Samudram" is a canal through which of the sea-lanes ?

a) Gulf of Mannar

b) Malacca Strait

c) Andaman and Nicobar Islands

d) Gulf of Kutch

Answer: (a)

Sethusamudram is the sea that separates Tamil Nadu, India, from Sri Lanka. It encompasses the Gulf of Mannar, the Palk Strait, and a shoal of islands and bays that separate them called Ram Setu ("Rama Bridge", also known as Adam’s Bridge).

Sethusamudram was the site of the proposed Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project by the Government of India for dredging the entire straits to make it navigable by large ships and create fishing and shipping harbours in the coastal areas.

Advantages of this project derive from obtaining a navigable sea route close to the coast, reducing in travel distance between the western and eastern coasts of peninsular India by about 350 nautical miles (due to having to circle about the island of Sri Lanka).
