Explanation

In recent years (around 2015-2016), there were reports and proposals concerning the feasibility of developing an artificial inland port in Rajasthan, particularly in the Barmer or Jalore district. The idea was to connect this landlocked state to the Arabian Sea via a long navigational channel, potentially through Gujarat, to facilitate trade and boost economic development under initiatives like the Sagarmala project. This exploration aimed to provide direct access to the sea for the state's industries and resources.
