Lingapuram tribal residents seek road, stage protest
The Hindu
‘We are facing problems, especially during monsoon time’
There is no proper approach road to Lingapuram, one of the three villages in ward no. 20, of Narsipatnam municipality. The ward has a total population of 2,000 of which 550 are tribals, living in Lingapuram village. This is the reason for the apathy of officials, allege Girijan Sangham leaders.
A bridge was constructed across Varaha River from Balighattam to reach Lingapuram, located on the other side of the river. However, after crossing the bridge, those going to Lingapuram have to travel on the kutcha road for about one-and-a-half kilometre. This is a proving to be a nightmare, especially during the monsoon for motorists.
