Tree House in Madikeri

It is interesting to read a news which appeared in Times of India daily on 22nd April 2012 regarding peoples beloging to Jenu Kuruba tribe in Banavara village have made trees their home and living this way for the past 65 years. It is also very interesting to know that these people used to vote in the elections on the basis of the liquor offered by the politicians.
It is shameful to note that the changing Governments, local administration, and the authorities/politicians have failed to provide basic facilities to these people which results their living condition unchanged for the past 65 years. It is to be noted that this place is situated nearly 250KM from the IT hub, Bangalore.
At the time of elections, politicians want votes of these people and they are giving liquor instead of their votes. Hence the political parties are aware of the condition of this section of people. It is a serious lapse from the part of concerned authorities. It is not possible for us even to think about the stay in a wooden home which is about 50-60 feet high.
As result of the news, the authorities may be forced to do something to these people. We may be proud for the facilities which we are enjoying now while this type of people living in in a wooden tree house.
I wish to thank Mr.Rajendran, reporter of Times of India for highlighting this news to the public.
