The Puducherry unit of the Communist Party of India has decided to organise an agitation on April 28, against the taking over of the Karaikal Port by the Adani Group.
The decision was taken at the party’s council meeting held in the presence of CPI national secretary K. Narayana, on Thursday. CPI Puducherry unit secretary A. M Saleem said the agitation would be held in Karaikal. The party adopted a resolution against the taking over of the port by the Adani Group.
In another resolution, the party urged the ruling National Democratic Alliance in Puducherry to drop the plan to open more liquor outlets and distilleries.
The party also urged the administration to take steps to open a textile park. The council meeting also sought an enhancement of the fishing ban financial assistance, to ₹10,000.
Former Minister R. Viswanathan and former legislator N. Kalainathan also participated in the meeting.

Although students from Tamil Nadu remain the leading recipients of educational loans across India, there has been a significant decline in the number of active loans they hold. The number of active education loan accounts decreased from 27.4 lakh accounts to about 20.1 lakh in the period. The fall can be mostly attributed to the fall in Tamil Nadu’s numbers.
