Aralam farm tribals forced to stay in sheds, await funds needed to complete houses

The threat of wild elephants looms
The fear of being trampled anytime by the elephants always lurks in the mind of 60-year-old Shantha Karikan and her family members, who are from the Paniya tribal community, living inside a shed in the Aralam farm. Just a few meters away from the shed are the skeletal remains of her house, which she started to construct a few years back using the fund of ₹60,000 provided for tribals under the Tribal Rehabilitation and Mission. But the work stopped as the authorities failed to issue the rest of the funds. In spite of knocking on every door, her pleas fell on deaf ears.More Related News
