The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has directed authorities to urgently rehabilitate 26 Paniya tribal families living in makeshift tarpaulin shelters at Vaniyampuzha in Malappuram’s Nilambur taluk. The families have been living in plastic tents since the August 2019 floods destroyed their homes. The Commission has asked the Malappuram Collector and Scheduled Tribes Development Department Project Officer to submit a report within a week on rehabilitation measures and a timeline for completing the process. The suo motu case was registered following a report in The Hindu on the families’ living conditions. The matter will be heard again on September 23. #Kerala #PaniyaTribe #TribalRights #Malappuram
