THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Francis Xavier SR, a 63-year-old fish worker, and wife Gracy from Kalluvettankuzhy in Venganoor village have been spending sleepless nights ever since KSEB decided to draw the 220-KV electricity line over their property. The 22-cent property and a house named Grace Bhavan is all they have left with for securing the future of their three children.
Francis’ house is barely two kilometers from the upcoming Vizhinjam International Sea Port project. When the land price increased in the area after the sea port project was announced, the family was expecting a good deal for the land, but what they have received is a raw deal from KSEB.
