VISAKHAPATNAM: Nestled amidst serene landscapes in the remote hills of Alluri Sitarama Raju district lies a community grappling with the absence of a basic necessity: a safe pathway connecting them to the world below.
For the residents of Jajulabanda and Kumburla hilltop villages, even the simple act of casting their votes demands a perilous journey of 30 kilometres up and down treacherous terrain, risking accidents at every turn. Proper road connectivity emerges as the beacon of hope for this tribal community, promising solutions to their myriad challenges, including access to medical care, education, and government rations.
