| Karanja Port: Meeting Challenges of Migrant Needs and Global Competition |
|
 Continuing from the previous two months, Gajanan Khergamker highlights that while Karanja’s story is one of success, challenges persist. The influx of migrants seeking work at the port has led to rapid urbanization, straining resources such as water and electricity.
