The same incident happened in Vayalar too. Thus the incident was named Punnapra-Vayalar revolution. Now there is a memorial here known as the Punnapra-Vayalar memorial martyrs' column. Every year, a procession on the date is being held from Valya chudukad in Alappuzha to here as the martyrs are remembered.
