Vizhinjam port

Port protests

The protests at the site of the Vizhinjam port project have acquired both social and religious overtones with Catholic priests joining locals to block access to the project site. The protestors, largely local fishermen, say construction of the port is causing coastal erosion and depriving them of their livelihoods. The Adani group has obtained an order from the Kerala High Court asking that construction be allowed to re-start.
