    🚧 💧 🤢

    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

    🧑 🗑️ ⚠️

    I can speak. So whatever, so I wanted to describe about describe the problem about the youth not managing cleanliness in and around.

    — KriS · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🧹

    In our town, there is a bit of a garbage problem here, that's all. Please get that sorted out a bit, and then in the lake, people keep throwing all kinds of garbage. Please get that side of the lake, all the banks, cleaned up a bit.

    — Preetham P U

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🙏

    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 area is very good. But they have put a lot of waste around the water tank. Along with the building construction waste materials, they haven't cleaned anything around the water tank. A lot of plants have grown, there is a lot of garbage.

    — Nandish · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🗑️ ✨

    Sir/Madam, we are from Melkote. Our Paramesh Gowda has made a lot of efforts for the development of Melkote in the past. Even now, Melkote lacks cleanliness and the tourists who come here don't have facilities. Neatness is also our aim.

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, 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

    🗑️ 🔢 🤏

    My name is Dr. Rashmi and today's topic is how to manage waste in our area. What is happening in Mandya is that they have provided only two counters, one for wet waste and one for dry waste, and that is just a few counters.

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, Mandya, 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

    🏗️ 🗑️ 🥀

    So, there's an empty site here. In that empty site, they've thrown all a little bit of waste. Next to it, there's a small garden. The site is very big, and they've thrown all the garbage in it.

    — Mohammed Ashwaq

    🗑️ ➕ 📦

    According to me, there are only two counters for that. So, make more counters for that. Make some more counters for dry waste. Make counters for wet waste too. As for dry waste, they put coconut fiber, paper, and cloth in it. Plastic, glasses...

    — Bhargvi · Pandavapura, 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

    🗑️ 🚮 🌍

    This chicken cleaning waste, they're just throwing it everywhere without proper disposal. Plastics and covers, all these things are falling out. There's no proper place for disposal; they're just throwing them wherever they want.

    — Likith Dip

    💧 ⚡️ 🙏

    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

    🗑️ 🚫 😔

    Why are they hugging the trash and picking it up, there's no one to clean. No one to clean the drains either. So many programs should have happened from our village. Okay brother, thanks brother. Say your name.

    — Uma mahadevappa · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🗑️ 🤔 ❗

    I'll take it now. You always said. Is there, let me speak something, what do you need? What is the problem? This is the problem. Are these speakers taking it? Cleanliness problem.

    — Mahadeva · ಹೊಸಯರಗನಹಳ್ಳಿ, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ 🗑️ 🧹

    There's a lot of garbage in our village. Nobody is cleaning this road. So, please, if you could tell the municipality to clean it, it would be very helpful. We can't even sit at home, it's so dirty.

    — KriS · Bengaluru, Bengaluru Urban, Karnataka

    🗑️ 🤢 🗣️

    Chandra, throw away this mess. Clean this dirt daily. Learn this, younger sister. This much is kept daily, making a messy, dirty smell.

    — rakshitha raju · Menagara, 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

    🌧️ 🗑️ 🤢

    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

    🛑 👎 🙏

    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.

    — Likith Dip

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🙏

    Kerekodi in Pandavapura is a famous place, but the people here are polluting and spoiling it instead of utilizing it properly. Please use this...

    — beardcoded · Chikkade, Mandya, Karnataka

    🤢 🗣️ 😩

    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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    Brother, he hasn't properly covered the soil and left. Not even one street road is correct. Not even one drainage pipe is correct. There's no neatness. The light poles, brother, they take money from the Panchayat, they come, brother, but they haven't installed a single light. What haven't I done, sir? This circle, brother, here's the circle.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏢 💻 💰

    They should become computer centers, and then tailoring training centers funded by the government. Also, the roads are not being cleaned properly.

    — Darshan S.K

    🏛️ 🧑‍💻 🗑️

    They should become computer centers, and then tailoring training centers through the government. Furthermore, the roads are not being cleaned properly.

    — Darshan S.K

    🚧 🏗️ ✨

    Our road should be developed, then the school, and then the hospital here. All of this needs to be developed. Some roads are not done. The power lines have all fallen down, so all that needs to be cleaned up and fixed.

    — Likith Dip

    🛣️ 🚧 🙏

    Friends, Race Nagar has become a waste area, and the road between Lakshmi Nagar and it needs to be repaired. All vehicles are falling into potholes. Please get it done.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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 gutters are not clean. There are too many street dogs, they bite children and cause many problems. Something needs to be done about them.

    — Preetham Preethu

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🍺 🧑‍🎓 ⚖️

    I am unable to include all the information in a single slide. I believe this kind of alcohol will definitely affect our future generations; teenagers are also becoming addicted, which will destroy the future of our village. We were initially people of a dry land and lacked proper facilities. Sir, if you take action, our village development will automatically grow. I kindly request you to take decisive action against him. Even when I tried to complain to the Abkari Ilakke (Excise Department), they only came and put a fine on him, which didn't impact him much. They even gave a certain amount to the Melukote police station. The bar owner from Jakanahalli distributes a lot of alcohol here twice a week to people. Sir, I kindly request you to take action regarding this situation. I believe in you, sir; you will provide justice to me. If you need any further complaint, I am ready to identify myself. My name is LikhithkumarD, and I am from Balighatta. Thank you.

    — Kumar

    💧 💩 🙏

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🛣️ 💥 ⚠️

    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

    🛣️ 🤢 🔄

    Listen, it's very dirty, it's unbearable to pick up. Right, change the current one. For a month, only one problem has been coming. The problem is that the road, that 90 road, is not good.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏚️ 🚧 🛣️

    Now, the land in Old Bidar, in numbers 402, 3, and 1014, is in disrepair. The land is damaged, it has become dilapidated, there is no proper system, and no road system. Please get the encroachments cleared and construct a road.

    — Manjunatha G B · Attiganahalli, 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.
