THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Minister Ahamed Devarkovil will be visiting Gujarat later this month to study port operations. He will visit Adani Group's Mundra port in Gujarat if the chief minister allows it. The minister's study trip comes two months before the first ship takes off in Vizhinjam.

Meanwhile, INL member Devarkovil's visit to Gujarat will also be discussed politically. The minister and his team's trip to China to inspect the cranes at Vizhinjam was postponed due to the fear of controversy.
