Vattavada, Idukki: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan handed over the keys of a new house to the family of slain SFI activist Abhimanyu. It was built by the CPI(M) on a 10-cent land purchased by it solely for this purpose.

In an emotional event, Abhimanyu's parents Manoharan and Bhoopathy received the keys to the house. It is located at Kottakamboor, near Vattavada. Till now, Abhimanyu's family was staying in a cramped one-room structure at Kottakamboor in Idukki district.

Inaugurating a library built by the Vattavada Panchayat in memory of Abhimanyu, the CM said that the threat of communalism must be prevented by strengthening secularism.

The new 1,256 sq ft house, near to the Kottakamboor-Kovilur road and about 500m away from the present home, has three bedrooms, one drawing room and a pooja room. The total cost is around Rs 35 lakh.

Abhimanyu was stabbed and killed allegedly by Campus Front of India members on the campus of Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, following a row over graffiti early in July 2018.
