TIRUCHY: Residents of four tribal hamlets in Kombai panchayat of Pachamalai hills complain that the road connecting them has turned so non-motorable over the past five years that their relatives now hesitate to visit them considering the treacherous commute they have to undertake.
Mentioning that it has been about five years since vehicles stopped plying on the road between Sembulichanpatti and Erikkadu, which also covers the hamlets of Maruthai, Erumaipatti and Gundur, locals say the road laid decades ago is now severely damaged that not only has bus services in the route been suspended but ambulances also avoid using it.
