Araku MP meets PM, brings problems of tribals to his notice
Prime Minister Narendra Modi took time off from his busy schedule here on Wednesday to listen to the woes of the tribals of Araku constituency.
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took time off from his busy schedule here on Wednesday to listen to the woes of the tribals of Araku constituency.
Heeding the request of Araku MP Kothapalli Geetha, to listen to the hardships dogging her voters, Modi gave her a patient hearing.
Geetha explained to him that 90 per cent of the population was tribal in Araku but development had not knocked the doors of the people so far. Poverty coupled with lack of education, health and employment opportunities was dogging the region.
Even the basics like clothing and shelter were deprived to them, she said showing him photographs of the malnourished people and the pitiable living conditions.
She told him that road connectivity was so bad that so far at least 3,000 habitations were not even connected. Schemes like MNREGS should be implemented with slightly modified conditions paving way for the usage of machinery as the territory was rocky mostly.
