The meeting will be held at the collectorate at 2 pm, district collector Dr Sajith Babu said in a statement here.
Revenue minister E Chandrasekharan, who hails from Kasaragod, will preside.
The two workers, in their early twenties, were hacked to death on February 17.
A team of CPI(M) leaders led by Kasaragod MP P Karunakaran, who visited Kalliyot recenty, to see the houses and shops that were attacked following the killings, had to face a hostile crowd of men and women who protested their presence there.
