Vizhinjam - Turning Turtle?

Quote:

An abrupt change in strategy by the State Government threatens to set the Vizhinjam project back by years if not scuttled for good. It’s urgent that the misconceptions being created around this move be discussed and prompt action be taken to ensure that the project stays its course to fruition.

Right at the beginning let me say that this article is not about the imaginary sea turtles that that resort lobby tried to use as one of many reasons in their attempt to erect an environmental hurdle before the Vizhinjam project. Nor were any turtles or other wildlife hurt during the writing of this post. It’s about the U-turn that the State Government has taken in recent days about the State’s supposed “dream” project and how this move threatens to make the $2 Billion project go belly-up. Hence the allusion to the turtle.
