    💧 ⚡️ 🙏

    Oh, there's a big problem with water here, and they don't clean the drain at the back, so water collects everywhere. Also, we don't have much electricity. Please provide that, that's all.

    — Likith Dip · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚰 🔌 🚫

    They are experiencing a problem that stems from Kudandikol (or a specific system/source). Water is not reaching the last point, and this is causing numerous issues. When electricity, especially phased current, is supplied, people turn on their motors. This leads to insufficient water flow at the final level, and also affects the drainage.

    — Uma mahadevappa

    🛣️ 🚧 💥

    In our village, there's a drainage problem. The road inside the village also has issues; it's completely broken. It's difficult to commute, and there are accidents happening there.

    — Preetham Preethu

    🏘️ 🚌 💧

    In Anthanalli village, there is a problem with one of the buses. Secondly, there is a problem with the pure drinking water unit for the public.

    — Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    There is an opportunity for a holiday. Tell me. Anthahalli Basavaraju. The problem in our village is that in this Kalvani street, there are three street lines, and the old line is causing a lot of trouble. Please get that done for us. Because it's old, we are facing a lot of problems with water supply. Please get that done. Also, there is no way for farmers to come after 4 or 5 o'clock for the bus. We need a separate road from Pandupura to Anthahalli. School children need a separate bus, and farmers also need a separate bus.

    — Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏠 💧 🚶‍♀️

    The road and drainage system for our house are both not proper. All the drainage water and house water flows onto the road. We are in a situation where we have to walk through it, right here.

    — Likith Dip · Kanaganamaradi, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💧 🚧

    The road to Halakuppe main gate is not good, water is not good to go inside the village, water comes normally, there is no drainage, there is no main drainage, there is no road inside the village mainly.

    — Likith Dip · Hosayalekere, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💥 ⚠️

    Dozens of accidents involving people and animals are happening daily from Aralukuppe Petrol Bunk to Mallalli Road for various reasons; something must be done about that. And quickly address the tap water in the streets and roads.

    — Ranjan

    🏘️ 🚧 💧

    The main entrance road of Halavu Kuppa is not good for entering the village. The water supply is not proper. Even though water normally comes, there is no proper drainage system. There is no main drainage. There are no roads inside the village, mainly.

    — Likith Dip

    ⚠️ 🛠️ ✨

    There are a lot of problems in Pandavapura, especially regarding electricity and water scarcity. And I want to look into solutions. Instead of relying on software, why don't you build something else? When my friends visit this place... Right?

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚰 🔒 😔

    They are doing things they shouldn't be doing. My name is Jayamma. They said 'ant nalli' (referring to a specific tap/connection). Water has become a problem here. We came to this tap, but if we go to that tap, there's no water in this tap. We don't get even a drop of water. After they've taken it, we either get it or we don't. They scold us. Those who install taps scold us. We can't do that now. Water has become a big problem for us. They say they will cut all the water. The water problem has already hit us, we have nothing. We don't have water to drink. Where will we drink from? There is no water anywhere. If we go to one person's tap, the other person won't give water from their tap. What else are we supposed to do? Look at us. Look at the water. They had placed a valve here, but they've closed the valve here. They've closed the valve here. It's only one valve. If we need water there, we can take it. If we go to their tap, if we go to these people's tap, water won't come into the bucket. Do you understand our situation?

    — Siddu ಅಂತನಹಳ್ಳಿ · Giriyarahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🔌 ❌

    No, talk about this village. My name is Priya. Here in Haralukuppe, there's a big problem with electricity. That needs to be addressed first. The power goes out a lot, a lot.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🏘️ 🚧 🛠️

    There is no sports stadium for love in our village. There is a road problem. Water flows beside the drain. We request that it be fixed.

    — Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    For village development, the village's drainage system needs to be cleared repeatedly. There are also road problems. We request you, sir, to get all these issues rectified.

    — Preetham Preethu · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏡 💩 🙏

    We are Keretanuru Praveen. In our village, the drainage system is not very good. They keep dumping all the sewage here. Please fix that.

    — Preetham P U · Tonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    💰 📉 🚫

    In our village, people have eaten the society's money, the society is in loss, the dairy is in loss, there is a road problem, and there is a street light problem. No matter how much is done or posted, it's not put up now, one

    — rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚌 ⏰ ❌

    Sir, there is a morning bus problem from Pandavapura to KR Pet. In KR Pet, there is an engineering college and a diploma college, but there are no proper buses for this route. From 8:00 to 10:00 AM, there is a bus problem. Please solve this.

    — Chandan

    🚌 ⏰ 🙏

    Sir, there is a bus problem from Pandavapura to KR Pet in the morning. There is an engineering college and a diploma college in KR Pet, but there are no proper buses on this route. There is a bus problem from 8:00 to 10 am. Please solve this.

    — Chandan · Alpahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏠 🚧 😡

    Do it, tell me, there is so much. There is no kitchen in one place, they couldn't even build that. Modi's drains are not clean, they haven't been built yet. The problem is the same on that side too.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏠 🚧 🌊

    Our house is downstairs, the drain is not proper, water is collecting in front of the house and even on the path.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🕳️ 🛠️

    Bolinalle, that drive is a problem, the road is not clean, there are potholes everywhere, it's all broken. That's the problem in the village. Please fix it, Bolinalle.

    — rakshitha raju

    🕳️ 🌧️ 🌉

    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.

    — Preetham Preethu · Ingalaguppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚫 🧹

    But in some places, there are no drainage systems and no road systems, and in places where there are road systems and drainage systems, there is no proper cleaning of them. There should be proper cleaning and locals should also be aware of this, this is our program.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🏘️ 🆘 🗣️

    We are running. This is Mandaburam, a village near Adakkur. Our village road and increased water supply are the main needs. Sir, we have a big issue to raise.

    — Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🏗️ 📉

    The drains and canals must be repaired. In our village, all the roads are completely ruined. After that, Kaviparana Thappa should build towards the village. Villages will progress. And then, whenever there's a setback, they've made things worse again.

    — rakshitha raju

    🚧 💧 🤢

    By putting the construction materials used next to the drain, they fall inside, preventing the drain water from flowing properly and causing a bad smell. Also, by putting cement bags next to that drain, they fall inside, stopping the water from flowing and causing a very bad smell. In empty plots, by throwing household waste and other waste materials, it is causing a lot of trouble and a bad smell. The authorities should pay attention to that.

    — Arvi Gowda · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka

    💧 🗑️ 🛠️

    The drainage system in our village is not good, please fix it. Also, there is a lot of garbage; you should arrange to get all of it cleared. They dig up the drains and dump it there; please get that done as well.

    — rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💔 🛠️

    The road from Alukuppe village to Alukuppe Malenahalli is not good, it needs to be repaired immediately.

    — rakshitha raju

    🚧 🚑 🛠️

    Sir, a delivery hospital and an ambulance service should be arranged for Alakuppe village. And the roads are still very damaged; all of them need to be repaired a little.

    — Manjunatha G B

    🚧 💧 🚫

    Madam/Sir, that's why meters haven't been installed. Also, for those roads, normally some necessary work hasn't been done. The pipeline has been laid well. Some (connections) work, some don't. Some taps get damaged repeatedly. Water is not reaching them. They haven't provided for the future.

    — Ranjan · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚫 ✨

    In Moor, there's a problem with road drains and gutters. There's no cleanliness, everything is dirty. The Panchayat doesn't clean it. They will do something about it.

    — Ranjan · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 💔 🙏

    Hello, I am Suvane Ambuttu from Vishweshwaranagar, Pandavapura Taluk. In our Vishweshwaranagar Housing Board Colony, the roads are not in good condition at all. Please do something about this.

    — Vinayraj manju

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    Tell me, there is a problem with fungus rain in Halebidu, the drains are not cleaned, even if the Gram Panchayat gives it, there is no use, there is no use, they say all the roads are broken, what's the use?

    — rakshitha raju · Menagara, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚌 🚧 😠

    First, the bus is not continuous, and then there is no proper bus stand, and buses don't arrive correctly. There are many such problems.

    — Likith Dip · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🚌 🚫 🏫

    Our Lakshmi Sagara village does not have bus facilities. There is no arrangement for children to go to school. Please arrange for that for us. There is a problem for us regarding bus travel, and gas is also very expensive.

    — Preetham P U

    🛣️ 🚧 🛠️

    The roads in the village are our biggest problem. All the roads are dug up and in disarray. We need the roads to be repaired. That's our only problem, nothing else. All the roads near the circle are also in a bad state. We are requesting that the roads be developed a bit.

    — Preetham Preethu · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚫 🙏

    We need roads. We don't have a road to go down here. We need roads there too, but there are none. Father, we need roads. Also, there is a drinking water facility.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚧 😠

    First, tell them to fix the road that is currently usable but is deteriorating. That's a huge problem. It has become one-way, causing great difficulty for vehicles going and coming from both sides. If there is any problem with the canal or the bridge, please get that fixed as well.

    — rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🍺 💸 📉

    Hi sir, this is from Balighatta. In our village, we are facing a major problem: a high number of people are becoming alcoholics because alcohol is being sold without a license in every general store and tea shop. Most villages in our Melukote hobli are experiencing this issue. These storekeepers are selling alcohol without the proper license, and the Grama Panchayat has not taken any action against them. Even those who are known sellers show no hesitation. They have already paid a fine for illegal alcohol sales, but it's only 10,000, an amount they recover within 3 days. They sell around 200+ liters in our village every month. A general person works hard and earns about 400 per day, but they spend 300 daily on buying this black-market alcohol. How can the people in my village develop? Rich people always engage in this kind of alcohol selling and become richer, while poor people are trapped in this cycle. How can poor people improve their lives? Sir, I kindly request you to take decisive action against this situation.

    — Kumar · Jakkanahalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛑 👎 🙏

    That's the problem, children don't stop properly here. The school facility is not good, the bus facility is not good, the surroundings are not clean. Look how it is here, please do something about it.
