The Kerala High Court has granted the State government two more weeks to resolve the eviction dispute involving seven Dalit families living on 2.5 acres at Malayidamthuruth near Kizhakkambalam. The eviction order, directed by the Perumbavoor munsiff court in favor of a private landowner, has faced repeated non-execution. The government has challenged the eviction and assured residents of no police action, while promising rehabilitation if legal setbacks occur. The families claim longstanding residence on government land, amid ongoing political agitation.
