Advocate Rapolu Bhaskar has submitted a formal representation to the concerned authorities, urging them to provide essential road infrastructure for the tribal villages in Chirala Mandal, Badradri Kothagudem district, Telangana. In his representation, Bhaskar highlighted the lack of proper road connectivity to these villages, which has led to significant social and economic isolation. Many of the tribal communities in this region are cut off from basic services such as healthcare, education, and government welfare schemes due to the absence of reliable roads. This lack of access severely impacts the quality of life for the residents, making it difficult for them to seek medical care, attend school, or benefit from government programs designed to support rural development.
Bhaskar also emphasized that the lack of road infrastructure hinders economic opportunities for the tribal people. Farmers and local artisans are unable to transport their goods to nearby markets, thus limiting their income and economic potential. The absence of transportation links prevents them from integrating into broader economic activities, which contributes to their ongoing poverty. Additionally, Bhaskar pointed out the dangers posed by the lack of roads during emergencies. In situations such as natural disasters or medical emergencies, the inability to quickly evacuate people or deliver necessary supplies can put lives at risk.
To address these issues, Bhaskar proposed the construction of durable, all-weather roads that would connect the tribal villages to nearby towns and urban centers. He emphasized the need for roads that can withstand the local weather conditions, particularly during the monsoon season when flooding can render travel impossible. Furthermore, Bhaskar suggested that these roads should be designed to improve access to essential services like healthcare centers, schools, and government offices, thereby improving the overall living conditions of the tribal communities.
Bhaskar also urged the government to ensure that these infrastructure improvements align with existing rural development schemes. These schemes, which focus on enhancing access to education, healthcare, and sanitation, can only be effectively implemented if the tribal communities can easily reach them. Bhaskar’s representation calls for immediate attention to this issue, noting that it is not only an infrastructural concern but a human rights issue that affects the dignity and well-being of these tribal populations. His ultimate goal is to ensure that these remote villages are no longer isolated and that the tribal people of Chirala Mandal can live better, safer, and more prosperous lives through improved connectivity and infrastructure.
