Tribals boycott JB
On the penultimate day of the Janmabhoomi programme, officials continued to face the wrath of tribal people in Kurupam Assembly constituency. At Gotivada panchayat in Kurupam mandal, tribal people boycotted the programme demanding a written assurance from officials on laying of a road to the panchayat. Thimmaka Dalamma, sarpanch of the panchayat, complained to officials present that their demand for a road in the last phase of the Janmabhoomi was not settled till date. As a result, they had been facing problem in shifting pregnant women to PHCs. She also sought to know the reason for construction of toilets when the tribal people have no houses at all.
