Kolkata, Oct 2

The Standing Parliamentary Committee on Shipping, headed by the CPI(M) Member in the Rajya Sabha, Mr Sitaram Yechury, is to shortly review the crisis facing the Haldia dock of the Kolkata Port Trust.

The crisis, thrown up by the declining draft in the Hooghly river, is believed to have been aggravated by the non-deployment of sufficient number of dredgers by the public sector Dredging Corporation of India in the Hooghly river near the dock.

The Shipping Secretary, it is learnt, will present his views on the subject before the committee.
