Sathram Colony residents oppose Kozhikode Corporation’s eviction move

The residents of Sathram Colony in the heart of the city who have been asked to vacate the premises by the end of the month have decided to oppose the Kozhikode Corporation’s move. The residents claim that their families have been living in the colony for generations and had all their identification documents based on the address. The Corporation has asked 17 families in Sathram Colony to move out as the buildings are to be demolished soon. The Sathram Colony and a similar one at Nadakkavu house the staff quarters of the Corporation where some of the contingent workers reside with their families. Those on the rolls of the Corporation will be provided quarters temporarily at the Kalluthankadavu apartment complex while those not on the Corporation rolls need to move out.
