The Hindu
Residents of two Pudukottai villages now have to wade in neck-deep water to reach burial ground
The district authorities in Pudukottai have said that steps would be taken to construct a bridge across the supply channel in Ilupur taluk, which had filled up in the recent heavy downpour forcing residents of Mela Paluvanchi and Keela Paluvanchi to wade through neck-deep water carrying the dead to the burial ground situated on the other side of the water body.
The Hindu had recently highlighted the misery faced by the residents of the two villages in carrying the dead through the supply channel to reach the cremation ground situated on the other side and their long-pending demand for construction of a bridge for a permanent solution.
