Vizhinjam protests: FIR filed against 3,000 people; 36 cops injured

The protests are expected to cast shadow on the completion of the first phase of the project in December 2023

Following the violent protests at Vizhinjam (Kerala) by anti-port activists on Sunday night, the police on Monday filed a case against at least 3,000 people, who were allegedly involved in attacking a police station and injuring around 36 cops.
 

The protests are expected to cast a shadow on the completion of the first phase of the Vizhinjam International Seaport project in December 2023.
 

More than 20 people among the protestors were also injured. The local fishing community, led by the powerful Latin Catholic Archdiocese, had been claiming that the breakwater and constructions would affect their livelihood and homes.
