Buildings on hill
While travelling from Tirunelveli to Kanniyakumari, we crossed the split hill of Reddiyarpatti which happens to be a selfie point. Now there are barricades on the sides of the road to keep people away as now and then small rocks fall from atop the hill. But, surprisingly, a museum has been built on top of the hill and housing board apartments have also been built on the foothills. The landslides at Tiruvannamalai and Wayanad caused devastation to lives and properties. Buildings on the hill and foothills were found to be the reason for such calamities when there is heavy downpour. So, one wonders how permission was granted for such constructions on Reddiyarpatti hills.

Close pit
There is a long pilot along the Primary Health Centre at Kottaram on the Nagercoil - Kanniyakumari highway. As this pit leads to accidents, I request the highway authorities to close the pit.
