The Hindu
Since the 2019 floods, they have been living in makeshift tents in areas infested with wild elephants
The woes of dozens of tribal families living in Vaniyampuzha, Iruttukuthi, Tharippapotti and Kumbalappara hamlets in the Nilambur forest near Munderi seed farm in Pothukal panchayat continue to be dreadful. Since the floods of 2019, they have been marooned and living in constant fear. The authorities are yet to build a bridge across the Chaliyar to re-establish connectivity with the tribespeople living in the hamlets after the floods washed away two concrete bridges at Munderi.More Related News
