Then the Top Court said that it would hear the matter in the first week of February. The Supreme Court is hearing the petition of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy to declare ‘Ram Setu’ as a national heritage site. Swamy had filed the petition against the controversial Sethusamudram Ship Channel project initiated by the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government. In his PIL, Swamy had demanded that Ram Setu be declared a national heritage.

The Supreme Court had in 2007 stayed the work on the Ram Setu project. Later the central government had said that it has considered the socio-economic losses of the project and will try to find another route for the shipping channel project without damaging the Ram Setu.
