Goa Port is on the lookout for a commodity to replace iron ore exports, and sugar saves the day

Goa’s Mormugao Port is yet to come to terms with the loss of its mining industry. The port, which till the end of 2021 had never before exported sugar, has allocated nearly 4,000 square metre shed space within the port for the new commodity.

“Sugar was usually exported from the Jaigarh Port (coastal Maharashtra), but this year we were able to offer our services to sugar exporters here,” official said.

Goa’s Mormugao Port used to handle almost 55 million tonnes of iron ore, virtually entirely mined and exported from the state. The port was obliged to diversify from a single commodity port to a multi-commodity port as a result of the mining ban.

The port has also banked on export of bauxite, granite and steel coils. The import of coal is currently capped at 7 million tonne. “We need to set a cargo of at least 24-25 million metric tonne if we want to stay afloat and profitable,” Rai stated.

“Fortunately, injuries didn’t affect the spine.” Saif Ali Khan receives 10 stitches for a serious stab wound sustained during the home burglary.

Actor Saif Ali Khan’s house in Bandra, Mumbai was a target for an attempted robbery during the early hours of Thursday morning. The actor was stabbed during the incident and had to urgently be taken to Lilavati hospital and undergo surgery. Now, we have received more updates on it.

We have learnt from sources at the hospital that one of the injuries was quite deep and the actor has received 10 stitches for this stab. The source says, “Fortunately, it has not affected the spine. He was very lucky that the stabs have not affected any of his vital organs. It appears to have been attacked by a knife and he was actually thwarting a robbery attempt.”

The source adds, “Of the six injuries that Saif has suffered, two injuries are deep, two are mid and two are superficial.”

Coincidentally, at the reported time of the robbery, Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan has put up an Insta story of a girls night in with her friends Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, and sister Karisma Kapoor. It had led to speculations that she was probably not at home during the time of burglary. However her team has released a statement saying, “All members of the household were present at home at the time of the unfortunate incident.”

As per recent reports, three suspects have been detained by the Bandra Police in the case.
