Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Hundreds of fishermen and their family members staged a protest against the proposed Enayam International Container Transhipment Terminal (EICTT) at Ramanthurai seashore near here on Sunday. The protest, spearheaded by Peoples' Movement Against Enayam International Container Transhipment Terminal (PMAEICTT), saw the participation of women and children belonging to the fishermen community. The fishermen expressed fear of severe sea erosion, which could affect their livelihood, if the port, proposed to be established on over 500 acres of sea area, was shifted to Enayam. The project would displace over 50,000 fishermen families, they claimed.
