Kochi: The Kerala High Court has directed that the construction being carried out at the Pulinkudy beach on the southern side of the Vizhinjam seaport in Thiruvananthapuram district by VISL be temporarily stopped, saying the work has not been cleared by the Union Environment Ministry.
A bench of Chief Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Syam Kumar V M said there was ambiguity with regard to the work being carried out by Vizhinjam International Seaport Ltd (VISL) and Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Ltd (AVPPL), as no one was able to show there has been any clearance for the construction.
