Dilapidated Houses in Kodiyalam and Koppu Panchayats Appeal for RepairsDilapidated Houses in Kodiyalam and Koppu Panchayats Appeal for Repairs Residents of Kodiyalam and Koppu villages in Tamil Nadu have urged authorities to repair their deteriorating houses. Built three decades ago for agricultural laborers, these homes have fallen into disrepair. “A portion of my house was damaged in the recent rains. I fear it will worsen during the upcoming monsoon,” lamented a Kodiyalam resident. “As daily wage earners, we can’t afford repairs.” Ayalai Siva Suriyan of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam stated, “These houses have deteriorated significantly. Water leakage during rains has made them uninhabitable.” In response to petitions, the government recently released funds for repairing 34 houses in Koppu and Kodiyalam. “We’re grateful for this, but we urge the government to complete the repairs before the rainy season,” said Suriyan. “All eligible families should benefit from similar funds.” The Rural Development Department assured that all beneficiaries would receive funds for repairs. They also stated that repair works would commence shortly. However, a paywall blocks access to the full article.

A section of residents of Kodiyalam and Koppu village panchayats, under the Anthanallur Union, have appealed to the authorities to take immediate action to repair their dilapidated houses. These houses, built 30 years ago under different schemes of the Rural Development Department, were meant for poor families working as agricultural labourers.
“A part of the back portion of my house was damaged in the recent rains. Now that monsoon is approaching, I fear the situation will get worse. As daily wage earners, we do not have money to repair the house,” said a resident of Kodiyalam panchayat.
“Over the years, these houses have deteriorated considerably, with roofs and walls broken. During the recent rains, water leakage has made these houses uninhabitable, making it difficult for residents to go about their daily lives,” said Ayalai Siva Suriyan of the Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam.
Recently, after repeated petitions to the government, funds were released for repairing 34 houses for 126 families in Koppu and Kodiyalam panchayats. “We are happy with this and urge the government to complete the repairs before the rainy season. However, we hope that all remaining eligible families will be eligible for similar funds,” he said.
Sources in the Rural Development Department assured that all eligible beneficiaries would be eligible for allocation of funds for repair works. They also stated that repair works for the families allocated funds would commence shortly.
