Rinkesh Roy, Chairman, PPT and AK Bose, Dy. Chairman, PPT, have conveyed their gratitude to all employees, Unions, State Government, District Administration, Importers, Exporters, Stevedores, Steamer Agents, Port Users and other stakeholders, with whose regular support, a new chapter could be written in the history of the port.
