The Church-led action council leading the protest against the Vizhinjam international seaport has decided to link up with like-minded movements involved in similar protests across the State to drum up wider public support.
Monsignor Eugene Pereira, Vicar General, Latin Archdiocese of Thiruvananthapuram, said a decision had been taken to join hands with civil society groups in Thiruvananthapuram district on the one hand, and, on the other, with action councils related to the SilverLine rail project, Western Ghats-related issues and the Plachimada struggle.
''A march will be flagged off from Moolampilly in Ernakulam (where families were evicted in connection with the Vallarpadom terminal project) on September 14 and reach Vizhinjam on September 18 after covering the districts of Alappuzha and Kollam,'' Mon. Pereira said.
