For the first time, since Independence, Shakhan hill, one of the remotest areas in Tripura, India, shakes off inaccessible tag from March 24, 2012 as a road constructed under the Government sponsored MGNREGA scheme will connect six hamlets of the hill with the mainland. Vehicles to run through this newly constructed 14 km long road from Hanuman para of Taichama ADC village to Saikar. Without any facility of transportation so long, people belonging to tribal communities had no other option left but to walk through at least 30 km terrain for selling produce of shifting cultivation and purchasing essentials. Taking sick people to health care centers was a harrowing experience. However, the newly constructed road will make the lives of tribal people comfortable as well as add value to economic activities. The road will accrue benefits to 647 households living in the hill. Noteworthy, shifting cultivation (Slash and burn technique of cultivation) is the only occupation of the habitants. A Local Daily Newspaper Daily Desher Katha reports.
