In 2019, the Tamil Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front protested against an iron fence which blocked the pathway mostly used by Dalits in the Alagumalai village in [[Tiruppur district]] for drinking water, their children's education and to reach their homes. The fence forced them to walk about 2&nbsp;km for drinking water.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2018/nov/03/sub-collector-orders-to-remove-iron-fencing-around-eswaran-temple-in-alagumalai-1893766.html|title=Sub-collector orders to remove iron fencing around Eswaran temple in Alagumalai|website=The New Indian Express|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref> The fence which also compounded a temple was raised on the instructions of the [[Hindu Munnani]], a Sangh Parivar outfit.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsclick.in/dalit-residents-discriminated-untouchability-fence-tirupur-district|title=Dalit Residents Discriminated with Untouchability Fence in Tirupur District|date=2019-06-12|website=NewsClick|language=en|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref> Later the part of the fence which blocked the road was removed on the orders of the sub-collector due to the protests. The TNUEF welcomed the move and postponed their protests to remove the entire fence. The Hindu Munnani protested against the Sub-collector for unblocking the pathway.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://simplicity.in/news-detail.php?nid=36539|title=Untouchability wall in Tirupur Alagumalai removed|website=simplicity.in|language=en|access-date=2020-03-25}}</ref><br />
