The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has ordered the urgent rehabilitation of 26 Paniya tribal families living in plastic tents at Vaniyampuzha in Malappuram district.
- The families have been in temporary tarpaulin shelters since the August 2019 floods destroyed their homes.
- The commission took up the case on its own after a report in The Hindu on the families' living conditions.
- The Malappuram Collector and a Scheduled Tribes Development Department officer must submit a report on rehabilitation within a week.
- The order matters because the commission held that seven years without permanent housing violated the families' right to live with dignity and safe shelter.
What to watch next
- The authorities' report on rehabilitation steps due within a week.
- The commission's sitting at the PWD Rest House, Tirur on September 23.
