The Collector of Vellore, P.S. Leela Alex, has requested approval from the State Health Secretary to establish a government health centre for tribal communities atop Alleri hillock. Residents currently face significant challenges accessing healthcare, requiring treks through rugged terrain to reach the nearest hospital in Anaicut, approximately 20 km away. During recent visits, officials assessed the area and emphasized the need for improved medical infrastructure due to the region's inaccessibility. The proposed health centre would include essential facilities such as doctors, nurses, specialized wards, laboratories, and ambulance services. While the project aims to address longstanding healthcare disparities, only two other tribal hamlets in the district currently have government health centres, both accessible via bitumen roads.
