சேலம்: குடிநீர் முதல் மருத்துவம் வரை; அடிப்படை வசதிகளை எதிர்நோக்கும் ஜருகுமலை மேலூர் - கீழூர் மக்கள்

According to a report by Vikatan, residents of the Jarugumalai Melur and Keelur villages in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu are facing significant hardships due to a lack of basic infrastructure. The report details how the local population struggles with access to essential services, specifically highlighting the absence of reliable drinking water and adequate medical facilities.

For the inhabitants of these hilltop settlements, the geographical isolation exacerbates the difficulty of obtaining daily necessities. The lack of proper road connectivity and public utility infrastructure has long been a point of contention for the community, who have frequently called upon local authorities to prioritize development projects in the region.

Local administrative bodies in Salem have been urged by residents to address these systemic gaps to improve the quality of life for those living in the Jarugumalai area. While the region is known for its scenic landscape, the report underscores the stark contrast between its natural appeal and the daily struggle for basic human services faced by its residents.
