Villagers Petition Collector on Ration Shop Reinstatement, Irregularities
People in K. Ramanathapuram used to get their food supplies at a local shop, but it moved, and now they have to travel far.
They asked the district leader to bring the shop back.
Also, in another village called Pitchivilai, people are complaining that the shop isn't running right.
Both groups went to a meeting with the district leader to share their problems and ask for help with these issues.
