PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT FOR PEACE

For the past several years, the People’s Movement for Peace (PMP) has been actively committed to safeguarding peace and communal harmony in Kannur. As the upcoming panchayat and municipal elections approach, PMP has launched an extensive public outreach and awareness initiative aimed at promoting peaceful elections and strengthening community cooperation. As part of its efforts to ensure a calm and constructive electoral atmosphere, a PMP delegation met with leaders of all major political parties in Kannur. The purpose of these visits was to emphasize the importance of maintaining the district’s hard-earned peace—peace that has now become a model for the rest of the state. The delegation appealed to political and social organizations to offer their full cooperation in preserving this environment, noting that sustained development can flourish only when communities remain free from conflict and tension.

The conversations underscored a key message: peaceful elections are not merely an administrative requirement but a shared social responsibility. Ensuring dignity, dialogue, and restraint throughout the electoral process is essential for the district’s continued progress. In a region that has witnessed significant transformation, PMP’s intervention serves as both a reminder and a call to collective action—urging every stakeholder to rise above differences and place the welfare of Kannur first. The PMP delegation included P. Satheesh Kumar (Chairman, PMP), Fr. Dito Sebastian, Shaju John (Literacy Mission Coordinator), Chandrababu, and Haridas Mangalassery. Through these proactive engagements, the People’s Movement for Peace continues to reaffirm its foundational belief that unity and development go hand in hand, and that a peaceful Kannur is the shared responsibility of all its people.
