Tribals show the will to build road
VIZIANAGARAM: Vexed with the government’s indifference, tribals of Ballukota in Vizianagaram Agency have taken up construction of a 3.2 km ‘kutcha’ road from their village on their own. About 50 tribal families live in Ballukota of Gotivada Gram Panchayat in Kurupam mandal.
Tribals were facing severe hardship to reach Kurupam from Ballukota for their daily needs, from where there is a motorable road. It became a tough task to shift people from Ballukota to nearby hospital in medical emergencies due to lack of proper road connectivity.
