This refers to TN Ninan's column "Good news on poverty" (Weekend Ruminations, July 20). It is quite reasonable to believe that the actions taken by the government has brought results. At the same time, the absolute poverty and the miserable life of people in some tribal pockets like Attapadi in Kerala continues. If the position is so bad in a politically conscious and literate state like Kerala, what would be the position elsewhere? The media is playing a fine role in bringing the black spots to light.
