A day after his outburst against the State government over a host of issues, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan on Wednesday held talks with the representatives of the fishermen striking against the Vizhinjam International Seaport.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Eugene Pereira, vicar general of the Latin Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram which spearheads the strike, said the Governor has assured them that the issues related to the port construction would be brought to the attention of the Centre during his visit to New Delhi.
The protesters have given a representation to the Governor seeking his intervention to resolve the crisis and Mr. Khan has lent a patient ear to the issues of fishermen and the seven-point demands raised by them, said Mr. Pereira.
