The Kandla Port Shipping Agents Association (KPSAA) has extended a warm welcome to Mr Nilabhra Dasgupta, IRS, on his appointment as the new Deputy Chairman of Deendayal Port Authority (DPA), Kandla.

On behalf of the association, President Mr Bharat Gupta, along with Vice President Mr Ashish Joshi, Joint Secretary Mr Vikram Singh Bhati, Treasurer Mr Sahil Dutta and Executive Member Mr K. M.
