more-inResidents of Pulleticheruvu Palle village of Valmikipuram mandal of the Piler Assembly constituency have been dreaming of a decent road for them since Independence in vain. The village is approachable only through a rough terrain over bumps. The village, which had over 150 families a decade ago, is now inhabited by 60 families, consisting of about 200 people. A dozen children have to negotiate 2 km of rough terrain to reach the road point for their nearest school in Chintaparthi. Ironically, the revenue officials informed the villagers that the village did not exist in the revenue records.
