IUML Advocates Population-Based District Reorganisation in Kerala for Resource Equity
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has called for the reorganisation of Kerala's districts based on population to ensure equitable resource distribution. IUML leaders emphasized that this demand is a broader policy stance, not limited to dividing Malappuram or creating a district centered in Tirur. Malappuram, Kerala's most populous district with nearly 48 lakh residents, contrasts with less populated districts receiving similar administrative resources. The state government is also considering carving out a new Muvattupuzha district amid ongoing regional development discussions.
