IUML Proposes Population-Based District Reorganisation in Kerala for Resource Equity
The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has called for the reorganisation of districts in Kerala based on population to ensure equitable resource distribution. IUML general secretary P.M.A. Salam emphasized that the demand is not for creating a district in a specific area but to address disparities, citing Malappuram's population of over 45 lakh compared to smaller districts receiving similar resources. The proposal comes amid discussions on forming a separate Muvattupuzha district, which right-wing groups oppose due to potential political implications.
