Assuring all support and priority in rendering services to the units in Sri City Mr Misra said, “We are ready to create a separate enclosure at Chennai Port for Sri City exporters/importers for facilitating quick clearance. I suggest Sri City to appoint a liaison officer for coordination at our end.”
