Plea in High Court claims Vizhinjam sea port construction causing noise pollution

 

A plea in the High Court of Kerala has alleged that the Vizhinjam sea port construction work was causing noise pollution in the area.

Refuting the allegation in the petition, moved by a Thiruvananthapuram-based resort, the Vizhinjam International Sea Port Ltd and Adani Vizhinjam Port Pvt Ltd claimed the sound generated by the construction activity, during day and night, was below the noise standards contained in the Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) guidelines.

In view of the claim by the two companies, the HC on Tuesday directed them to produce the EHS guidelines on noise standards.
