Puducherry, Mar 6 (UNI) The Puducherry Peoples' Protection Committee (PPPC) today organised a fast in front of the legislative assembly to press the administration to drop the Port development project here.

Meanwhile, villagers of Kombakkam hoisted black flags atop their houses to register their protest against the proposed setting up of a Satellite town in their village.

They urged the administration to drop the proposal and protect the fertile agricultural lands in their village.
