Tribal Families Request Ration Depot to Ease Long Walks
Imagine you have to walk a long way to get food and medicine.
That's what the Kondu tribe in India is facing.
They live in five villages and have to walk over eight kilometers to get their rations, baby food, and medicine.
This is hard work, and they are asking for a closer place to get these things.
They feel ignored by the authorities, but some political groups agree with them and support their request.
They want a ration depot opened in a village nearby so they don't have to walk so far.
Kondu tribal families in Visakhapatnam are requesting a ration depot in Losingi.
Eighty families from five villages currently walk over eight kilometers for rations.
The families also collect baby food and nutrition supplements on these treks.
The families are frustrated due to not being recognized as scheduled tribes.
Political and civil organizations support the Kondu tribe's demand.
