Speaking to reporters after visiting the houses of party workers and CPI(M) office, Vijayan said the government should have to pay compensation to the people for the damages caused to their houses.

“Though compensations were given in such instances earlier, I think, we cannot expect such things from the present government”, Vijayan, who was making his first visit to Onchiyam after the murder of Chandrasekharan, said.

However, the government’s attention would be brought in this regard.

“If they failed to act, then party would reconstruct the damaged houses of CPI(M) workers”, he said.
