Valayam has a reputation for street violence between Muslim extremists and Communists. Many people were killed in the last few years and there is recurrence of violence on a daily basis. Normal business and travel is severel hampered in this area because of frequent street fights and agitations. On 24 January 2015, one communist volunteer called P.Shibin was murdered by Muslim extremists. The police issued prohibitory orders in violent areas like Nadapuram, Valayam, Kuttiady and Edachery. The communist volunteers retaliated by torching the houses of the accused persons. On 11 April 2001, Muslim League activists attacked Chekkiad village near Panoor with daggers, choppers, pickaxes and sickles. Three communist workers were seriously injured. The police is not effective in this area because the number of security personnel diployed is only ten percent of the perpertraors of the violece.
