Chennai:
Union Shipping Minister G K Vasan on Friday urged the anti-nuclear
protesters to refrain from taking up protest to stop the ship movement in VOC
port of Thoothkudi on Saturday.
The minister’s appeal to the protesters comes in the wake
of anti-nuclear activists and fishermen calling
for blockade of the Tuticorin port by using boats.
“It is unfortunate that protesters don’t understand that
this type of protest would affect the export import trade of the region,” the
minister said.
The port contributes highly to the development of economy
and provides jobs to millions of people and such act will stall the port
activities, Vasan said adding that
Vasan said that he hoped the state government will take
all out efforts to contain the protest which affects the overall growth of
country in general and Tamil Nadu in particular.
