The fate of 126 families living along the Konthuruthy river puramboke is uncertain after a Kochi Corporation meeting failed to find a solution. The Corporation decided to approach the Kerala High Court for more time to handle eviction and rehabilitation. They also formed a 10-member committee, including two councillors from the affected areas, to represent the families. The meeting came after repeated complaints from the families, who said neither the court nor the Corporation heard their concerns. The High Court had ordered eviction on December 16, 2025, with police help. It also asked the Corporation and Revenue department to complete rehabilitation within four months. At a key meeting on December 31, 2025, it was proposed that out of the ₹14 lakh needed per unit for rehabilitation, the Corporation must raise ₹4.75 lakh extra beyond the ₹9.25 lakh allowed under the LIFE Mission scheme. Mayor V.K. Minimol said, "With the Assembly election notification expected next month, the Corporation has little time to resolve the issue and must seek an extension from the court on January 13, 2026." She added a delegation will seek meetings with the Chief Minister and Finance Minister around January 22 for help. "Even if the Corporation fills the gap in funds despite its poor financial health, it needs permission from the State government," Ms. Minimol said. She noted the new committee will ensure communication with the families, as the previous Action Council lacked a clear contact point. The Konthuruthy Action Council urged clear rehabilitation plans. Its convener, P.B. Siju, said, "The houses are in bad shape, risking lives. But with eviction looming, fixing them is useless. We will resist eviction without clarity on compensation." He questioned the ₹14 lakh figure, stating, "The court said compensation should be around ₹19 lakh per family." He accused politicians of exploiting poor families who can’t afford legal battles. The issue remains tense as eviction deadlines approach and affected families seek a fair solution.
