Students say that they need to cross the brimming Varaha during the monsoon to reach their schools and colleges
Tribal students of Lingapuram village in Narsipatnam Municipality staged a protest by standing with folded hands in the waters of the Varaha River on Tuesday, appealing to the authorities that a road be laid to their village. School and college students took part in the protest.
Around 500 tribal families are living in Lingapuram village. The students of sixth standard and above have to go to Balighattam, Vemulapudi or Narsipatnam for their schools and colleges. The students have to cross the brimming Varaha during the monsoon.
A small stretch of the road that connects with the bridge over the river is yet to be completed due to litigation by a farmer. This is forcing the students to cross the river to attend their schools and colleges.
The students appealed to the Chief Minister and the District Collector to ensure that a road is laid to their village.
