By Joseph Vijayan
Here are two videos that show the enviromental destruction caused by dredging for the Vizhinjam Transit Harbour Project! One shot on January 2, 2016 after the dredging started and the other shot in February, 2015.

This is like our Silent Valley forest in the land. Unfortunately, it is being destroyed forever
