1) Housing
4) Reconstruction of Ambumala Road.
As per the report of the Project Officer, ITDP, renovation work of the road to the Colony completed in 2018 and the same damaged in the heavy rain fall and landslide occurred in 2019. Sri.Subash.K.N, the Secretary, Taluk Legal Services committee could not physically verify the condition of the road as the Colony People warned him not to go there because of the presence of wild elephant. As per the version of the Colony People, the entire road extending about three and half kilometres was totally damaged due to rain fall and landslide occurred in 2018 and renovation of the same may not be successful due to the particular geographical condition of the area which is prone to natural calamities. The alternative way to reach the Colony through 10 th block junction in Akampadam- Kakkadampoyil road has also been blocked due to the flood Occurred in 2019. A portion of the bridge constructed with metals to connect 10 th block junction and the colony washed off in the flood. The inhabitants have requested for construction of a road from 10 th Block Junction to the Colony with sufficient width for taking four-wheelers so that all transport related problems can be redressed. For construction of such a road, a bridge across Kuruvampuzha River and a Culvert have to be constructed. Properties of some private persons have to be utilized for the purpose. If such a road comes in to existence, the time to reach the Colony from the PWD road will be reduced to 5 minutes. Now, it is very difficult to reach the Colony by walking up and down through steep and narrow foot-path.
5) Elephant Proof Wall.
There is threat of frequent attack by wild elephants. There was a proposal to construct an Elephant Proof Wall around the Colony under the Additional Tribal Sub Plan Programme.
WP(C).No.2802 OF 2010(S) 13As per the report of the Project Officer, I.T.D.P, an amount of Rs.19.5 lakhs was allotted to DFO Nilambur for executing the project. Now the work has been completed by the Department and there is a protection wall around the Colony. However, it is reported by the Secretary, Sri.Subash.K.N, Nilambur Taluk Legal Services Committee that the protection wall having a height of 215 cm and width of 70 cm and the two units of electric fencing system installed in the borders of the Colony are not sufficient to keep away wild elephants. He has reported that there were wild elephants in the Colony premises at the time of his visit. It is also reported that one unit of the electric fencing system was not functioning at the time of his visit. As per the report, the threat of wild elephant attack still persists
