Thiruvananthapuram: The Latin Catholics Diocese on Saturday said it hopes the talk held with Chief Minister regarding the Vizhinjam port project is moving in the right direction.

A spokesperson of the diocese said CM gave a patient hearing to their grievances and added that they are expecting a favourable decision.

The CM held the discussion on Saturday to pacify the Latin Catholics Diocese after it threatened to announce protest on the day of signing the contract, reported Mathrubhumi.
