Haunted Houses

“There will be a situation where Keralites who have migrated to the West will sell their properties at rock-bottom prices. This will bring about a major change in the socio-economic situation of Kerala,” says K.V. Joseph, director of the International Institute of Migration and Development in Thiruvananthapuram. He also says that there are already many “ghost houses” (vacant abandoned houses) in central Kerala, which will soon be put up for sale.
