If a ship has to go from Chennai to Kochi,it has to go around Sri Lanka rather than crossing the Palk Strait.Why?

  • The Palk Strait has disputed islands and the Sri Lankan Navy does not allow ships to pass through
  • It is too shallow to ships to cross
  • Shipping is prohibited through the strait due to its religious significance connected with the epic 'Ramayana'
  • The around Sri Lankan route is actually shorter than crossing Palk Strait
