By Express News ServiceTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The state government is helping Adani Vizhinjam Ports Ltd (AVPL) wriggle out of the responsibility of completing Phase I of the International Multipurpose Deepwater Seaport project at Vizhinjam, alleged Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala. The Chief Minster, who is busy visiting Busan port in South Korea, has no time to inquire about the progress of Vizhinjam port work, he said. The Opposition leader said the Vizhinjam project was launched during the UDF government’s tenure in 2015 and work progressed at a fast pace. But after the LDF assumed power, the project faced huge delay as it was not interested in making Vizhinjam port a reality. “The government has adopted this stance to enable Adani evade responsibility by citing unforeseen reasons as cause of delay,” the MLA said..
