Continuing their protest, the Pulicat fishermen blocked entry to the Adani Port and L&T Ship Building Yard from the seaside preventing a container carrier from exiting the port.
Shops in Pulicat’s bazaar area downed shutters on Thursday as traders lent support to the fishermen protesting against low wages paid to them at the private port and ship building yard in Kattupalli in Tiruvallur district. Women and children too joined in the protest and sat the entire day under hot sun.
