    🏠 💧 🚶‍♀️

    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

    🏠 🚧 🌊

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 💧

    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 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

    🛣️ 🚧 💥

    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

    🏡 💩 🙏

    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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    Even if we ask them to clean the drains, they won't do it. There's a lot of swimming and roaming around. Even if we ask them to build a road, no one properly builds one. The machines and street lines have been there for many days, for many days.

    — Darshan S.K

    💧 💩 🤢

    Our name is Ramu. Our neighbor is Rangappa. Our house is on Rangada Street. They installed a drain near our house three, four, or even five months ago. The drain water is still stagnant there, causing dirt to accumulate.

    — rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    💧 ⚡️ 🙏

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    🛣️ 🚫 🧹

    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

    🌧️ 🗑️ 🤢

    Gaudesh shares that due to the rain, the drains along this road are not in good condition. They haven't been cleaned. Overgrowth and debris have accumulated and overflowed into the yards. All cleaners should take action.

    — Uma mahadevappa

    🚧 🚶‍♀️ 😔

    There is no road system in our area. The drain construction is half-finished. We raise cows that eat 'boosa' (fodder), and we have to carry this 'boosa' from another street. We have absolutely no road system here. Someone has said that no one will provide a road. They have stopped the drain and road work.

    — Manjunatha G B · Kanaganamaradi, 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

    🚧 💧 🤢

    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

    🚧 🌧️ 🌊

    Our road is not ready yet. During the monsoon season, this place gets heavily waterlogged. This is a road and a dairy for us, this is a dairy.

    — rakshitha raju

    🏘️ 🏗️ 📉

    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

    🤢 🗣️ 😩

    There's a very strong drainage smell coming from nearby here. We are exhausted from repeatedly going and telling them (about it), instead of passively suffering here. They are not taking anything to heart. Please just look into it a little and pay attention, that's all. If nothing is done...

    — rakshitha raju

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    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

    🏡 🌱 ✂️

    Sir, we are from Ingalaguppe. It has been 45 years since we built our house, and there is no road for us to commute. Even if we clear a small path, it constantly gets overgrown, and we have to keep cutting our way through it to pass.

    — rakshitha raju · Ingalaguppe, Mandya, Karnataka

    🌾 🚧 🚚

    Now, we have some of our lands in the T.H. Sidra area. Okay, we have a significant road problem for our land there. This is because, from there, we have to carry things for a minimum distance. Even if we grow any crop, there's no proper road now, nothing at all.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛁 🚫 🔧

    Oh, sir, first talk. We have a bath drain at home, but it's not working, it's blocked. We need a bath drain to be fixed. We will show it to you.

    — Likith Dip

    🕳️ 🌧️ 🌉

    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

    💧 💩 🙏

    I am speaking from Hosakanambadi village. There is no cleaning of the drainage systems in our village. I am kindly requesting you to get it cleaned.

    — Likith Dip

    🏘️ ❌ 🚧

    It's all neglected. No concrete has been laid on the streets, and there are no drains. Everything is just left as it is. Within the village, two or three streets don't have concrete; we haven't even seen concrete, and there are no drains either.

    — Darshan S.K

    💰 📉 🚫

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🚧 💧 🚫

    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 our village Nallanahalli, no road has been built for the past 15 years, and that is why...

    — Raghavendra · Krishnarajapete, 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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    We are Mahesh from Sunka Tanur, and there is no proper road and sewage system after that, we are requesting our MLA to get it done.

    — Ranjan · Sunkatonnuru, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    Please, our MLA, there are no basic facilities, no roads, and no proper drainage in Kanugumaradi Gram Panchayat and its surrounding villages. Please come and visit once and look into this matter.

    — Santhosh Kumar v c · Kharadya, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🙏

    Whether it's washing or cleaning, the dirt accumulates, sir. My name is Akash. They are making our canal dirty. If you get it cleaned, it would be very helpful for us, sir.

    — Akash p · Kennalu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🛣️ 🚧 🛠️

    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

    🛣️ 💔 🛠️

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

    — rakshitha raju

    🛣️ 🚫 🙏

    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

    🚧 🚫 ❓

    Tell me, our problems are that the streets are not straight, and the drains are not made. What will the current MLA do for us? First, our village members are not good. They don't bring any grants to our village. How do these people vote in the assembly elections for this constituency?
