This came after TNIE published a report on November 5 on the plight of several families of the tribal community working as bonded labourers who suffered assault by their employers.
Collector Palani emphasised that the state government is ensuring equitable benefits for all, with special focus on uplifting tribal communities. Various welfare schemes, including free house site pattas, self-employment bank loans, e-ration cards, community certificates, and scholarships, were being implemented to improve the quality of life for tribals. "As part of this initiative, 48 tribal families in Avudaiyarpattu were provided house site pattas worth ₹37.59 lakh, along with relief materials such as rice, groceries, and utensils. Additionally, five tribal families received orders for constructing houses under the Kalaignar Housing Scheme," he said.
