It is high time that people in India get bothered about Adani, the sweetheart of Narendra Modi. Australians are. Enough environmental damage and destruction of livelihood have happened in India. The latest in the hit list is Vizhinjam Transit harbour in Thiruvananthapuram. For this construction, two hills from the western ghats will be unearthed and dumped in the Arabian Sea. The livelihood of over 50,000 people will be destroyed. One of the most precious oceanic region named in the world known as rare wedge bank, rich in bio-diversity will be affected, destroying rare and threatened species. Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Srilanka will be the victims. The coast and and the houses of around 25 fishing villages will be washed out. Kovakam beach will soon become Kovalam rocks. Adani has nothing to lose. Because it is all tax payers' money. The project costing 7,600 crores invested mainly by the Government is a scam as per the CAG report. The projection is that Thiruvanthapuram will become a Dubai. That is our worry too. Because Dubai is a desert! Fisherpeople's organisations like KSMTF, peoples' science movements like KSSP, environmental groups, national level networks of fisher people's organisations, green networks, women's groups and human rights organisations ought to take up this issue more actively than before. Time has come to say `no' to such development disasters!
The Australians are doing a better job than the activists in India.
