First time in history, Sunknoor village people saw bus connectivity to
their village. Vimukti pothnal
Three-decade old demand
was realized on Monday when Mrs. Eshyamma vimukti staff along with
other women from her village visited the Concerned MLA demanding bus
facility to their village. The women have been demanding a bus
service for the last three decades, but nothing has materialized. Up
to now they had to either go on foot for about 7 km to access public
transport. Their demand was fulfilled soon after the MLA of Maski
visited their village, and within five days bus service became a
reality for the village. “we will not forget the Maski MLA for the
rest of our lifetime”, says Mr. Eshyamma, from the village who goes
for MNREGA work. She said that there have been several MLA’s and
government authorities whom they had petitioned for the bus
facilities, but just an oral request to the present MLA who acted
positively without delay helped us to realize our dream in less than
week. More than 400 families in the village, a majority of them
travel 7 km to other villages to get bus facility. Absence of public
transport has been affecting them financially as they had to spend
extra for taking motorcycles for work or hire vehicles. “Now we can
save up to Rs. 1000 per month with the morning and evening bus
services to the village”, says Mr. Eshaymma. We vimukti director and
staff appreciate and thank Mrs. Eshyamma, for her hard work and
dedication.
