MALAPPURAM: The coastal villages of Tanur are set to march to peace after a spell of violence and atrocities. An all-party meeting presided over by Minister for Local Self-Government, Dr. K.T. Jaleel, here on Sunday decided to take out a peace rally soon by all political parties and organisations to restore normalcy in the region. The parties decided to hand over miscreants to the police. The current police cases will be resolved within a month through mediation and discussions. They will also join hands to bring back the locals who had left the area.
Cultural and arts programmes will be organised with the help of local organisations and clubs. These were among 11 major decisions taken at the meeting where the minister asked the parties not to support miscreants. The discussions on the compensation package for the victims were postponed due to the election code of conduct. It will be decided after the poll, the minister said. Mr E.T Muhammed Basheer, MP, Mr V. Abdurahman MLA, Tirur RDO T.V. Subhash and DySP A.J. Babu, besides the representatives of political parties, were present at the meeting.
