VILLUPURAM: Four days after Cyclone Fengal devastated the lives of thousands of people in Villupuram district, hundreds of members of transgender and tribal communities have alleged negligence and exclusion from the ongoing relief efforts. Similarly, over 300 members of Irular tribe living in various settlements across the district complained of lack of relief. At least 10 families in T Puthupalayam village in Vikravandi taluk said the officials have dismissed their relief on the grounds of living in waterbody encroachment. “Relief efforts must be inclusive,” said senior activist Kalyani alias Kalvimani.
