- State:: Tamil Nadu
- District:: VELLORE
- Summary:: 37 Irula tribal families are living in Moodhur village of Arakonam Taluk of Vellore district for the past 40 years. After continuously meeting Government Officials and giving representations the officials of Revenue Department agreed to give housing pattas. It was really a great struggle for the people to pressurize the officials to take this kind of decision. But suddenly the officials withdrew from the promise of providing housing pattas without even informing the people any reason. So far they were not given pattas. The Irula people gave a complaint on 23.06.2006 to Thasildhar. It is a clear case of negligence and dereliction of duty by the Revenue Department Officials.
