Talks between the Kerala government and the church-led action council on Friday to break the impasse over the multi-crore Vizhinjam international port project remained inconclusive.
The government remained firm on its stand that the port construction cannot be halted. The action council said the protests will continue until concrete assurances are given on their demands.
Fisheries Minister V. Abdurahiman, briefing the media on the outcome of the meeting, said the government cannot consider stopping the work on a major project such as the Vizhinjam port. The government had favourably considered the rest of the demands raised by the protesters, he said.
