India: Kerala Police Station Attacked Over Adani Port Protest, Case Against 3,000

NEW DELHI, 29 November 2022, (TON): The Kerala Police on Monday filed cases against more than 3,000 people, including women and children, after a huge crowd allegedly attacked a police station, demanding the release of those held for protest against the under-construction Adani port.
A violent mob attacked the Vizhinjam police station, situated 20 km away from capital Thiruvananthapuram, last night as part of the ongoing protest against the under-construction Adani port.
Police say the protestors vandalised the station and injured police personnel.
The protestors had allegedly blocked trucks carrying construction material to the port project site, being developed by the Adani group.
Work had resumed after a court directive last week reportedly gave the go-ahead to constructing the $900 million dollar trans-shipment project.
