Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday handed over 348 newly built flats to families displaced due to sea erosion and the Vizhinjam International Seaport project, under the state’s Punargeham rehabilitation scheme.
The flats, designed to provide safe and modern housing, are part of the government’s efforts to resettle coastal communities affected by development and climate-related challenges. Each unit is equipped with basic amenities to ensure dignified living conditions.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Chief Minister emphasized that the project reflects the state’s commitment to inclusive development, ensuring that no community is left behind as Kerala advances in infrastructure and economic growth.
The Punargeham scheme has been praised for its people-first approach, offering permanent and sustainable solutions to vulnerable families living in high-risk coastal zones.
