Sea Port construction resumes at Vizhinjam

12 Dec 2022 CW Team

Construction resumed on Thursday, December 8, with trucks full of material rolling into the project site, after the fishermen called off their over 130-day-long agitation against the Vizhinjam sea port here two days ago.

Images shared by an Adani Group source of the project site showed trucks loaded with construction materials rolling in and the surrounding area devoid of protestors who had been camped there for over four months.

The agitation was called off on Tuesday, and the protesters informed the Kerala high court the following day that the tent set up outside the port was being removed.

The submission was made during the hearing of Adani Group's motion for contempt action against the protesters for failing to comply with the court's orders not to obstruct the way to the project site.

The high court dismissed the contempt petitions after the agitation was called off and protesters promised to remove the tent from the protest site.

As a result, construction work at the port began on Thursday, and the source stated that barge movement will begin soon and will be in full swing in a few days.
