KAKINADA: A fresh controversy has erupted over the possible diversion of rice cargo, traditionally meant for the anchorage port, to Kakinada Deep Water Port (DWP). AP Maritime Board is proposing to allow handling of surplus rice cargo
at the new port, reserving cargo sufficient for seven ships to the anchorage port.
