Tribal people of remote villages in Madugula and Chodavaram assembly constituencies rode horses from Pashuvulubanda village to Bangaru Bandalu BT road via Jeelugulova protesting against lack of road connectivity to their villages inhabited by the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs).
There are eight PVTG
families residing in Pashuvulubanda village of Avaruvada panchayat in V. Madugula mandal, while 13 Konda families live in Jeelugulova, Sompuram Bandalu, and Samalamma Konda of Ravikamatham mandal.
These families comprising 120 people have remained isolated due to the absence of proper road connectivity.
