Kannur
Block Panchayat

          Kannur Block Panchayat comprises the four Grama Panchayats of Azhikode, Chirakkal, Pappinisseri, and Valapattanam, located adjacent to Kannur city. Situated along the Arabian Sea, the region consists of small hills and valleys, wetlands along the banks of the Valapattanam River, and mangrove forests. The area falls within the climatic characteristics of the northern midland region of Kerala and experiences a moderate climate.

Red gravelly soil is found in the elevated hilly areas, while sandy soil is commonly found in the coastal regions. The Valapattanam River and the Kattampally River play a significant role in shaping the local ecosystem. Numerous streams branching out from these rivers are also a distinctive feature of the region.
