The protest against the Vizhinjam international seaport in Thiruvananthapuram by fishermen and their families has reached a feverish pitch with the agitating fishers trying to lay siege to the under-construction port at sea and on land.
The round-the-clock protest led by the Latin Catholic Archdiocese, Thiruvananthapuram, does not seem to be ending soon what with the protesters insisting that any compromise other than halting the multi-crore port work, the first phase of which is about to be commissioned next year, cannot be agreed upon.
Their main demand is that the port construction should be stopped straightaway to take stock of the damage caused by the construction along the coast of Thiruvananthapuram.
