With just four days left for the election campaign to end, the candidates are making all efforts to reach the maximum number of electors. However, there are four villages/settlements in the district that have not witnessed any election campaign. No candidate has ever visited the Malliamman Durgham settlement (427 voters) in Kadambur Hills and Nandipuram settlement (55 voters) near Moyar valley inside Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve in Bhavanisagar constituency, Kuttaiyur (487 voters) and Kathirimalai (134 voters) villages in Bargur panchayat in Anthiyur constituency. However, the electors continue to exercise their democratic right during all the elections. Malliamman Durgham settlement is located about nine km from a motorable road in Kadambur and the houses in the settlement got solar panels only in September 2018, which is 71 years after Independence. In the absence of road and basic amenities, more than 70 families have migrated to Kadambur, said M.K. Subramani (40), the first graduate from the hamlet.A crowd comprising farmers, researchers, professors, students, and horticulture enthusiasts thronged the ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, on Friday for the inaugural ceremony of the Triphal Diversity Show which showcased 300 mango, 100 jackfruit, and 100 banana genotypes in collaboration with ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Tiruchirappalli.
