Residents Appeal for Dilapidated House RepairsResidents Appeal for Dilapidated House Repairs Residents of Kodiyalam and Koppu village panchayats in the Anthanallur Union have made an urgent plea to authorities for repairs to their crumbling homes. Built under government schemes three decades ago, these houses were intended for poor families employed as agricultural laborers. However, the structures have deteriorated significantly over time, with damaged roofs and walls. “A portion of my house’s rear side was damaged in the recent rains. With monsoon approaching, I’m worried it will get worse. As daily wage earners, we lack the funds to repair it ourselves,” said a resident of Kodiyalam panchayat. Ayalai Siva Suriyan, a member of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam, stated, “The houses have deteriorated over the years, becoming uninhabitable during rains due to water leakage, making daily life difficult for residents.” Following persistent appeals, funds were recently allocated for the repair of 34 houses belonging to 126 families in Koppu and Kodiyalam panchayats. “We welcome this and urge the government to complete the repairs before the monsoon season. However, we hope that all eligible families will receive similar assistance,” Suriyan added. The Rural Development Department confirmed that all eligible beneficiaries would receive funds for repairs and that work would commence shortly.
A section of residents of Kodiyalam and Koppu village panchayats, under the Anthanallur Union, have appealed to the authorities to take immediate action to repair their dilapidated houses. These houses, built 30 years ago under different schemes of the Rural Development Department, were meant for poor families working as agricultural labourers.
“A part of the back portion of my house was damaged in the recent rains. Now that monsoon is approaching, I fear the situation will get worse. As daily wage earners, we do not have money to repair the house,” said a resident of Kodiyalam panchayat.
“Over the years, these houses have deteriorated considerably, with roofs and walls broken. During the recent rains, water leakage has made these houses uninhabitable, making it difficult for residents to go about their daily lives,” said Ayalai Siva Suriyan of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam.
Recently, after repeated petitions to the government, funds were released for repairing 34 houses for 126 families in Koppu and Kodiyalam panchayats. “We are happy with this and urge the government to complete the repairs before the rainy season. However, we hope that all remaining eligible families will be eligible for similar funds,” he said.
Sources in the Rural Development Department assured that all eligible beneficiaries would be eligible for allocation of funds for repair works. They also stated that repair works for the families allocated funds would commence shortly.
