“There is a pothole on the road to Kappage from Jeeves Kshetra in Ballari. A bridge has not been built below that village yet. If it rains and water overflows, it is impossible to cross. A bridge needs to be built there. Please look into this.”
“ಜೀಯಸ್ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಬಳ್ಳಾರಿತ್ ಕಪ್ಪೆಗೆ ಹೋಗೋ ರೋಡಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದು ಹಳ್ಳ ಐತೆ. ಆ ಊರಿಂದ ಕೆಳಗಡೆ ಅಲ್ಲೇ ಸೇತುವೆ ಆಗಿಲ್ಲ. ನೀ ಮಳೆ ಬಿದ್ದಿ ಏನಾರ ನೀರು ಬತ್ತು ಅಂತ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಆ ಕಡೆ ಹೋಗೋಕೆ ಆಗಲ್ಲ. ಅದೊಂದು ಸೇತುವೆ ಆಗಬೇಕು. ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನೋಡಿ ಅನ್ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ”
