    Poojary now on the right track to improve the small ports around Kota/Kundapura/gangolli.
    Hope it materialises, before BJP's term comes to an end shortly.
    Please hurry with this work and people will like you during the next election.
    Dredging only once will not help. It should be done often.
    Higher fees should be collected from those who use the Port facilities.
