The 7.1-km road from Erumapalayam Panangadu to Jarugumalai Hills laid in Veerapandi Assembly constituency in Salem.
For the first time, Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and other poll materials will be carried in vehicles from the plains to Jarugumalai, a tribal village in Jarugumalai Reserved Forest area in Panamarathupatti block, after 7.1-km tar-topped road works were completed a few months ago.
The village coming under Kuralnathan Panchayat in Veerapandi Assembly constituency is located in Jarugumalai Reserved Forest of Salem Forest Division where two villages, Melur and Keelur, are located that has a total of 716 voters. Reaching Jarugumalai is a herculean task as one has to trek for 3.5 km from the foothills through the terrain road.
