The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has instructed the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to address a canal leak from the Barapole Hydropower Project that has weakened a family's home in Irrity. If the leak cannot be fixed, KSEB may need to acquire the family's land. The Commission's directive follows a complaint from residents who reported abnormal water flow during a project test run in June 2023. KSEB has been providing rent and financial support to the affected family since August 2023. The Commission has ordered KSEB to complete necessary repairs and monitor the situation until resolved.
