Across the river Chaliyar lies the abandoned Industries factory named "'Gwalior Rayons'" (later renamed as Grasim) which once employed 2,000 employees.

Environmental agitations in 1998 under the leadership of K. A. Rahman caused the closure of the factory and the entire village went bankrupt because of the sudden development and eleven people even committed suicide because of not being able to face unexpected poverty.

Even though there are many rooms and a river side picnic space with tiled footpaths, there is no maintenance of any sort.
