There has been no change in lives of these Vaddera workers since 50 years. The residents face extreme cases of poverty such as lack of electricity, lack of medication, scarcity of drinking water, lack of employment and lack of education. They are also prone to land slides, attacks by poisonous reptiles from the wilderness and often have their shelters damaged by heavy rains and winds. The Vaddera populous in Toroor have been facing these crisis since the dawn of their migration to this land.

Vadderas are one of the few communities, who work in most hazardous and fatal occupations. Forced to by the society, they remained as the toughest community of hard laborers, breaking boulders for a living. Being so, they have to intoxicate themselves, in order to sleep for a couple of hours. Injuries, ill-health, and lurking fatal accidents are the only things we get to hear about them.
