one crying need
of the fair city of Thiruvananthapuram that has been hanging
fire ever since I can recollect. Calls for and moves to construct

which I often glimpse as I make an occasional trip to Kovalam.

attempt at building the port, let us take a look at what makes
this project so significant not just to Thiruvananthapuram
or Kerala, but to our whole country |
