The living condition of the populace here is deteriorating
as the development of the Gram Panchayat is practically non-existent. Road
connectivity in Mundrothuruthu is pathetic and there are several areas with no
pacca roads. The amount of funds necessary for the construction of roads cannot
be met neither by the Mundrothuruthu Gram Panchayat nor by the State
Government. Apart from that, bridges are to be built in order to facilitate
connectivity with the island to connect the lake and river with land portion.
Inadequacy of basic facilities like drinking water, sanitation, electricity and
road transport facilities are hampering the progress and development of the
residents there.
The
Mundrothuruthu railway station does not fully benefit the people as long
distance trains do not stop here. The huge potential for backwater tourism in
this island has also not been explored properly. The lack of specific projects
for the comprehensive development for Mundrothuruthu has left the people here
in a state of absolute uncertainty. Therefore, under these circumstances,
we, the Kurakar Cultural Forum demand the Union Government to conceptualize a
special package for Munroethuruthu Island for the development and progress of
the people living there.
