CHENNAI: Keeping up the pressure on the government to ensure that the villagers of Kalvarayan hills have all basic facilities, the Madras High Court directed the State to submit a report containing the details of educational and medical facilities made available to the people there.
The report should have details about the number of schools and medical centres available in and around the villages of Kalvarayan hills, along with the strength of students, teachers and medical staff, directed the division bench of Justice SM Subramaniam and Justice M Jothiraman.
Appearing for the Kallakurichi Collector, Additional Advocate General (AAG) J Ravindran filed a report regarding the progress of the 32-km road project between Vellimalai and Chinna Thirupathi. The project would commence expeditiously after getting necessary sanctions from the government and would be completed within 12 months, the Collector said, and submitted the work plan and schedule along with the report.
