Rani Jadhav holds interim charge as JNPT Chief
Mumbai:
Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), responsible for the handling of about 60 per cent of the country's container traffic, is without a full-fledged chairman, even as Ravi Budhiraja's term as chairman, JNPT, expired on May 31. Ms Rani A. Jadhav, chairperson of the neighbouring Mumbai port, has been asked to hold temporary charge as JNPT's chairperson.

JNPT has also been functioning without a deputy chairman for the last few months.

It may not be out of place to point out that eight of the 12 major ports in the country are functioning without a Board of Trustees, after their respective terms expired in April. The ports that do not have full-fledged boards are Mumbai, Chennai, Paradip, Mormugao, Kandla, Cochin, Kolkata and Visakhapatnam.
