Pondicherry: It's a big boost for activists and Pondicherry citizens who had been opposing the building of a new port joining hands with NDTV's campaign to save India's beaches.
However, the Supreme Court had ruled against them and given the go ahead for the project.
Now a team from the Ministry of Home Affairs that audited the project has found major problems in the manner in which it was awarded to a private company and has submitted a plea asking for the judgement to be recalled. The next hearing will be in January.
