Vizhinjam stir: Latin archdiocese bishop to hold fast

As part of intensifying the protest against the Vizhinjam seaport, the Archbishop of the Latin Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram will begin a fast in front of the port from September 5.

This move comes in the wake of the court rap, which apparently has not deterred the fishermen led by the Latin Archdiocese, Thiruvananthapuram, from continuing the protest .

The representatives of the protesters on Friday made clear that the campaign that most of the demands raised by the fishermen were met by the State government was not true. The State government should issue an order listing the decision taken in response to the demands raised by the striking fishermen, the protesters said. The fishermen should also be given a fishing village by providing houses on five-cent plots.
