The Palk Strait is in close enough proximity to the Indian shores for its Navy and the Coast Guard to effectively monitor the waterway and ensure security of vessels passing through it. The additional costs incurred would easily be offset by the revenues generated.

The Suez Canal was prepared to connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the fiftys through a desert with similar problems and objections. There just might be a lesson for India in the historic project.
