Tirupattur Collector M.P. Sivanarul paid a visit to Nekkanamalai in Tirupattur, which lacks road facilities from the plains.
On Friday, he walked 7 km from the base of the hilly terrain to reach the residential area.
Residents told the Collector that all these years their locality lacked road facilities and during election, officials reached the hilltop carrying their paraphernalia.
A couple of days ago the residents carried the body of a man to the top of the hill in a cradle as the ambulance could not reach the hilly terrain.
They informed the Collector, who paid a visit to the relatives of Munuswami, who died of electrocution.
He told the people that efforts were on to prepare a project report to lay the road.
The space belonged to the Department of Forests and negotiations were on, he said.
