The three-day-long siege of the Fort Kochi-Alappuzha State highway at Kannamaly in Ernakulam, Kerala, to protest against the worsening sea incursion was called off by Wednesday afternoon following an understanding reached during the deliberations held by the protestors and a team of Revenue and Irrigation officials.
Deputy Collectors of disaster management and revenue recovery, the Kochi tahsildar and the Major Irrigation department executive engineer participated in the talks on Tuesday evening. The highway blockade at Cheriyakkadavu was lifted shortly after the talks held on Tuesday.
