On June 8, 2026, the Communist Party of India (CPI) organized a significant protest in Kelamangalam, Krishnagiri district, against eviction notices issued for homes built on poramboke lands. The demonstration was spearheaded by CPI's Thally MLA T. Ramanchandran and State Secretary M. Veerapandian. The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) Board, via the Revenue Department, had sent notices targeting houses in several localities, including Jeeva Nagar, Sultan Pettai, Panathoppu, Virupatchi Nagar, and Anna Nagar. Protesters argued that over 1,500 homes, which have existed for decades and possess valid house receipts along with water and electricity connections, were unjustly threatened with demolition. During the protests, CPI leaders engaged in discussions with officials from the Revenue and HR and CE departments. Following these talks, officials assured the protesters that no immediate demolition actions would occur, leading to the dispersal of the crowd. The event highlighted the ongoing tensions surrounding land rights and housing security in the region.
