Anakapalli Tribals Stage Unique 'Horse Procession' for 3 KM Road
- •Tribals in Anakapalli district, including PVTG and Kondh families, are protesting the lack of a 3-kilometer road connecting their remote villages.
- •Due to no road access, pregnant women and critically ill patients are carried for kilometers in palanquins to reach medical aid, leading to past fatalities.
- •The 'horse procession' was organized to highlight their plight, as horses are currently their only means to transport essentials and reach the main road.
- •Proposals for a 3-kilometer gravel road from Jeelugulova to Pashuvulabanda, costing Rs. 2.10 crores, have been prepared but funds are unsanctioned.
- •Previous road works under 'Palle Panduga' were left incomplete by contractors due to non-payment, exacerbating the tribals' difficulties.
Why It Matters: Anakapalli tribals demand immediate road construction after unique 'horse procession' protest highlights severe access issues.
