Work at IOC’s LPG import terminal in Kochi restarts
Work at the Indian Oil Corporation’s LPG import terminal at nearby Puthuvypeen restarted on Monday amid tight security arrangements, two years after it came to a halt following protests by locals citing safety issues, official sources said here.
Prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC have been imposed in one division of the Kochi city corporation and 10 wards of the area to deal with a possible law and order issues.
Work on the project which had then reached 45 per cent was stalled after protests by locals turned violent and it remained suspended since February 16, 2017.
