Dhamra as Coastal Port For All Types of Coal

AS per Notification No. 64/1994-Customs (N.T.) dated the 21st November 1994, Dhamra is appointed as a Coastal Port. The second Proviso to the Notification states that, “provided also that Dhamra Port is appointed to be coastal port for carrying on of trade in coking coal, thermal coal and limestone”.

Now the Government wants to substitute “all types of coal and limestone” for “coking coal, thermal coal and limestone”.

So they have amended the third proviso to the Notification. There is a small problem, though; the notification has only two provisos and God knows how the Board could amend the third proviso, which does not exist.
