Make previous tenders of port project public: TRIDA chief

The tender and other documents issued during the tenure of the previous LDF government for the Vizhinjam International Deepwater Multipurpose seaport project should be made public before the June 3 all-party meeting, TRIDA Chairman P.K. Venugopal has said. In a letter to Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, he said that making the tenders, floated in 2010, public would enable a free and frank discussion.

Mr. Venugopal said the all-party meeting on October 25, 2009, discussed only matters regarding land acquisition. The minutes of this meeting should also be made public.
