A group of school students from Kurukkankundu in the Kallamala village of Agali panchayat in Attappady complained to the District Collector here on Saturday against the Forest department objecting to their road and power connectivity.
The students said that their families had been living at Kurukkankundu since 1960 with proper land documents. However, they said basic facilities were being denied to them because of the objections raised by the Forest department.
Those students had staged a satyagraha and night marches in 2020 demanding Internet connectivity as the schools turned to online mode in the wake of the COVID-19 lockdown. They are students of Mount Carmel High School, Jellippara. They said they were forced to walk 7 km to reach the school owing to lack of a proper road.
The issue was raised even in the Assembly, yet no solution was found so far. The children said they were being denied the basic facilities such as power supply and road for no fault of theirs.
