Student petitions for housing aid in Sokkadevanpatti

A class VII student from Sokkadevanpatti submitted a petition to Collector M.S. Sangeetha, requesting free houses for 40 families in her village. The families belong to the Adi Dravidar community and have been living without proper shelter. The student, Gopika Sree, highlighted the poor condition of their homes, which have damaged roofs and walls. She expressed the need for housing under the Samathuvapuram scheme in their current locality. Villagers noted that many families have more than six members, leading some to move to hostels due to overcrowding. They urged the State government to provide housing as a humanitarian measure.
