The Chengara settlement is a persistent area of concern for its residents. Approximately 200 children reside within the settlement, facing considerable hardships due to a lack of basic resources. Electricity supply is limited, water access is unreliable, and roads are poorly maintained, contributing to discomfort and potential safety issues. K.S. Sudhi and Hiran Unnikrishnan, local observers, regularly document the children’s experiences. The children are often seen without adequate sanitation, and the settlement’s infrastructure presents significant challenges. The ongoing protest reflects community concerns about the well-being of the residents and the area’s development.
