District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) secretary and Sub Judge M. Shabir Ibrahim visited the marooned tribal hamlets across the Chlaiyar river on Thursday and examined the living conditions of the 300-odd tribal families there.
The judge had to cross the river standing on a bamboo raft to reach the hamlets off the Munderi Government Seed Garden Complex in Pothukal panchayat. It was his second visit to the hamlets within a few months following a directive by the High Court.
After examining the poor living conditions at Iruttukuthy, Vaniyampuzha, and Tharippapotti hamlets, Mr. Ibrahim said that he will give a detailed report to the High Court.
