Social condition
Valayam has a reputation for intermittent political conflicts between Muslim league workers and Communists.[4] Many people were killed in the last few years and there is recurrence of violence on a daily basis there and in nearby villages. Normal business and travel has been hampered in this area because of frequent street fights and agitations.[5] On 24 January 2015, one communist volunteer called P. Shibin was murdered by a Muslim league worker in a local dispute. The police issued prohibitory orders in violent areas like Nadapuram, Valayam, Kuttiady and Edachery.[6]
The police are not effective in this area because the number of security personnel deployed is only ten percent of the perpetrators of the violence.
Nowadays there is no political conflicts and street fights. The police and political leaders are succeeded in controlling the violence and making a friendly atmosphere. The panjayath has developed a lot during the period of pinarayi government. The primary health centre and government higher secondary school has become international level.[7]
