Hindu United Front, a group close to India's ruling party, will march today in support of a $900 million port project by the Adani Group which has been stalled by Christian protesters, as tensions rise after clashes in which 80 people were injured
for almost four months by protesters from the fishing community, led by Catholic priests, blocking the site's entrance with a makeshift shelter.

Once completed, it will become India's first container transhipment hub, rivalling Dubai, Singapore and Sri Lanka for business on the lucrative east-west trade routes. However, police have for weeks largely been unwilling to take action, fearful that doing so will set off social and religious tensions,The first phase of construction was due to be completed by end-2024. The Adani Group has said in court filings that the protests have caused "immense loss" and "considerable delay".
