CHENNAI: The Irular tribe members’ struggle for owning a piece of land would not end any time soon, going by the official apathy entrenched in the system. From abject poverty and social exclusion, the tribals, however, continue to fight for that ever-elusive land patta.
60-year-old Raja belongs to Irular community and resides among 28 families in Venkatapuram, a tribal hamlet under Peruncheri Panchayat limits, and 15 kilometers away from Tiruvallur District headquarters. Like other Irular hamlets, one can’t find proper houses, sanitation facility, electricity or gas connections in Venkatapuram. The hamlet also lacks access to any sort of education centres.
