The relay hunger strike by families in Munambam in Ernakulam district of Kerala over land claimed by Waqf will conclude on November 30, 2025, their representatives said.
The Munambam Land Protection Council, which represents around 600 local families affected by the issue, said on Saturday (November 29, 2025) that the protest is being called off following the recent Kerala High Court directive to the State government to accept land tax from them until the case is disposed of.

The agitation, staged at the premises of the Velankanni Matha Church in Munambam, has reached 413 days, council members said.
"The State government has assured that the remaining procedures, including those by the Revenue department for granting possession of the land, will be completed soon. So we decided to end the protest for now," Joseph Rockey, a council member, said.
