A reception committee with Sayed Fasal Pookoya Thangal as chairman and K.V. Kunahmmed Koya as general convener has been constituted for the purpose.

Minister for Forest and Environment Benoy Viswom will present him with a memento.

P.K.S. Raja, scion of the Zamorin family, erstwhile rulers of Calicut, will honour him with a ponnada.

Mayor M. Bhaskaran will release a book on the occasion.

M.P. Veerendrakumar, MP; P.M.A. Salam, MLA; and the former Ministers P.K. Kunhalikutty and K. Muraleedharan will take part in the felicitation programme.
