Tamil Nadu government’s COVID-19 relief measures, financial assistance of ₹ 4,000 and the kit of groceries, are not likely to reach many of the tribal families in Coimbatore district as they do not have ration cards.
Representatives from tribal settlements in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve (ATR) areas, a landscape home to the highest number of tribal families in Coimbatore district, claimed that at least 10 % of families lack ration cards to get these benefits.
“There are 17 tribal settlements in Coimbatore district limits of ATR. As per official records with the Forest Department, which are several years old, there are 986 families. The actual number of families will be more than 1,000. Of these, around 100 families do not have ration cards,” claims V.S. Paramasivam, Coimbatore district president of the Tamil Nadu Tribal Association.
