A typical issue of Indian livelihood
Place: Gandhinagar in Arumanallur Panchayat near Nagercoil (Tamil Nadu)
As many as 84 persons including 36 women from that place were arrested when they laid a siege to the Collectorate demanding proper water supply and other basic amenities braving the drizzle on Monday December 1, 2014.
The villagers complained that no action was taken so far on the representations made earlier to the authorities of Arumanallur Panchayat and district administration. They also alleged that these amenities were being denied for the last eight years by the local body.
It raises lots of questions and misgivings on the existence and efficiency of several agencies and their work style in the country!

It is painful to note such a development in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu State. What happened to development plans and schemes pressed into service in the last 20 years or so ? Villagers are still helpless sans drinking water and other amenities after 66 years of independence!
