The formal house-warming ceremonies for the 51 houses handed over by the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) to families affected by the Mundakkai-Chooralmala landslides will take place on Monday. The state leadership of IUML, including state president Panakkad Syed Sadiqali Shihab Thangal, will attend the events.
Beneficiary Families Begin Moving In
The beneficiary families have already started moving into the houses and will begin residing there from Monday. The keys and documents of the houses were handed over to the selected beneficiaries at the project site in Thrikkaippatta, Wayanad, on February 28.
First Phase Allotment Details
Of the 51 houses completed in the first phase, 14 have been allotted to Hindu families, who were given priority without a draw of lots. This decision was made to accommodate applicants from the Hindu community in the first phase itself. The remaining 37 beneficiaries, all from the Muslim community, were selected through a draw.
House Specifications and Amenities
Each house measures 1,060 square feet and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a work area, a sit-out, a living room, and a dining area. The houses are furnished with beds, sofas, dining tables, chairs, clocks, and other appliances. Additionally, each house features a paved courtyard and a 7-meter-wide brick-paved road in front. A well and a large tank have been installed to provide clean water to the homes. The construction includes a foundation that allows for vertical expansion if needed in the future.
