The Kerala Cabinet on Wednesday decided to take steps for the conservation of the house of legendary Communist leader A.K. Gopalan at Peralassery in Kannur district.
It asked the Department of Culture to draw up proposals for conservation of the House. The CPI (M) workers had earlier protested against the move to demolish the two-storied house by its present owner and nephew of the late leader Sadashivan.
