KOCHI: Adani group, which is constructing the first phase of the Vizhinjam International Seaport, has approached the Kerala High Court seeking contempt of court action against the CPM-led state government for not providing police protection as ordered by the court so as to continue building the port.
It was on September 1st that the high court ordered the state government to provide police protection to Adani Vizhinjam Port Pvt Ltd (AVPL) and its contractors and workers in view of the protests being conducted by fishermen under the leadership of the Latin Archdiocese of Trivandrum. The court had also ordered for deploying central forces if the state government is unable to maintain law and order in the project area.
