What was the 'Punarjani' flood rehabilitation scheme involving Kerala CM V.D. Satheesan?
The Kerala government dropped corruption charges against Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan on July 30, 2026, regarding the 'Punarjani' flood rehabilitation scheme. The project started after the 2018 floods to help victims in Paravur. Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said the probe showed no legal grounds to prosecute, though the CPI(M) opposed this.
