The Maruthavar Saloon workers welfare association along with the association secretary K.Maruthachalam filed a petition to district collector. In their petition they have demanded allocation of land for constructing houses or provide houses for rent.
They exclaimed that the Maruthavar community falls under the backward class. Due to this many people do not provide them houses for rent. This is leading many barbers to leave the profession which they are doing from the time of their ancestors and go to other city for earning their livelihood.
They have strongly demanded the district administration should hear their pleas and provide them land where all the community people can construct houses and live together.
