Munambam Land Protest Ends, New Agitation Begins
In Munambam, Kerala, a long protest of 414 days ended on Sunday.
The protest was about who owns the land there.
The government and the court allowed people to pay taxes on the land for now, but some people are still not happy.
They want the land to be completely taken off a special list and for the government to give them full rights to use their land.
So, a new protest has started right after the first one ended.
The government says they will keep working to solve the problem.
A 414-day protest by the Munambam Land Protection Council ended on Sunday.
The protest was about land ownership issues involving the Waqf Board.
A new agitation has started by a faction opposed to ending the protest.
The rebel group demands full revenue rights and removal from the Waqf Board’s asset list.
The government is seeking a permanent solution through a judicial commission.
