It's all about creating an appetite for devpt

Part of Chokkadi panchayat, Orulummada suffers from poor road connectivity. During the 2018 floods, residents lost the lone three-foot-wide bridge which connected them to Kalikavu town. Though the Army went on to construct a temporary bridge, that was also washed away in the heavy rain.
