Five-year tenure is good for stability. Chennai Port has been doing well, but we need more focus on green ports and digital cargo tracking. Let's see what Kurve brings to the table.

Interesting appointment! I'm curious how an officer from Uttarakhand will handle the maritime challenges of Chennai. But IAS officers are versatile, so should be fine. 🚢

Meanwhile, the RBI deputy governor appointment is also noteworthy. Rohit Jain has been an ED there, so he knows the ropes. But 3-year term starting in 2026? That's a bit far away.

The article talks about two different appointments together - a bit confusing. But good news overall for Chennai Port. Hope the new chairperson prioritises modernisation and worker welfare.
