Vellore district officials have proposed the establishment of a full-fledged government health centre for tribal residents living on the remote Alleri hillock. The initiative aims to address the significant challenges residents face in accessing medical care, as they currently must trek 20 kilometers across difficult terrain to reach the nearest hospital.
Collector P.S. Leela Alex has written to the Health Secretary of the State government to get a nod from National Health Mission (NHM) to set up a full-fledged government health centre for tribals atop Alleri hillock in Vellore.
