Over 50 tsunami-affected `aravanis' in Kanyakumari, Nagappattinam and Tirunelveli districts are a neglected lot from rehabilitation measures of the State Government.
While many of them have been struggling to get ration cards which is thebasis for sanctioning of any relief and rehabilitation measure by theGovernment, several others' say that their names are figured in theration cards but their family members refuse to associate themselves with aravanis.
One of the main complaints of aravanis is officials do not know as towhether they should include aravanis in the male or female list of affectedpeople.
``I appeal to the Government toconsider us as individual beneficiaries in distributing relief and rehabilitation and do the needful forthwith,'' says Mary Leons, an aravani at Muttom village in Kanyakumari district.
