TIRUPATTUR: Accessibility is a major problem for villagers of Nekkanamalai in Tirupattur whether to carry the dead, children to reach school or for medical emergencies. This lack of road facility sheds light on the grim situation, as they had to carry a dead body in a ‘Doli’ through mountainous terrain for over 5 kms uphill at midnight on Tuesday.
“Munusami, 27, was electrocuted while working in Coimbatore on Monday. After his body was brought in an ambulance to Vaniyambadi on Tuesday, his wife and relatives made arrangements to carry the body to their native village Neekkanamalai, which does not have road connectivity,” a villager said.
