Only 28 of the more than 180 community kitchens that once operated in the tribal settlements of Attappady in Palakkad, are currently functioning, prompting the Keralam government to seek a report on their status and steps to reopen those that have shut down.

K.A. Thulasi, Minister for the Welfare of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes, has directed the Kudumbashree coordinator to submit the report within a week.

The Minister also directed officials to ensure that no community kitchen was forced to stop operations because of unpaid bills. She asked that bills be submitted every three months instead of once a year to avoid delays in payments.
