A large group of caste Hindus from Uthapuram panchayat petitioned the District Collector here on Monday, urging to stop the construction of a bridge over a drainage channel which will enable the Scheduled Caste residents to easily access Elumalai-Usilampatti Road.
Caste tension has prevailed in Uthapuram between the caste Hindus and the Scheduled Caste residents for the past several years.
The petitioners said that the Scheduled Caste residents who were predominantly present in Pottalpatti, have recently expanded to adjacently located Kurunji Nagar.
It was decided to construct a bridge across the drainage channel connecting Kurunji Nagar with Elumalai-Usilampatti Road, after holding several talks with the district administration officials.
