The Kunnathoor Grama Panchayat in Kerala’s Kollam district has unanimously decided to rename a junction previously known as “Pakistan Mukku.” The new name will be “Ivarukala,” reflecting local sentiment following a recent terror attack in Pahalgam. This decision was made on Wednesday amidst strong opposition from the Left party regarding the renaming of junctions associated with Pakistan.

Binesh Kadambanad, the Panchayat’s vice-president, indicated that public sentiment played a significant role in this decision. The push for this name change was initiated by KG Anisya, a BJP ward member from Puthanampalam East, in response to the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.
