A judicial commission has been formed to address the ongoing land ownership dispute in Munambam village, where the land is claimed by the Waqf Board but contested by local residents.

This new panel is headed by former Kerala High Court Acting Chief Justice C N Ramachandran Nair and was constituted by the state government on Thursday via a Gazette notification. The commission is tasked with ascertaining the land's current status, nature, and extent.
