Sea water entered more than 200 houses yesterday in Trivandrum where 3 houses were entirely destroyed, 2 km of road was inundated, electricity poles uprooted. The increase in coastal erosion is attributed to the construction of adani port at Vizhinjam.
The tourist spots of Kovalam and Shangumugam have taken a severe toll resulting in the destruction of the beach and the loss of public space for the residents.
Fishworkers organisations along with other groups are on an indefinite satyagraha citing the construction of vizhinjam port as the reason for increased coastal erosion, destruction of homes and livelihood. #stopadani#stopadanivizhinjamport
