My name is Kavya, a resident of Chandagalu village. We applied for a house building site six months ago, but we have not yet received the building site license. Please provide this license as soon as possible.

To obtain our building license, someone wrote to an urban development authority. For some rural or original urban area, there's no progress there. One moment.

To get a building license for us, they wrote to some rural mood, any urban mood, and there's no stop there, wait a minute.

I am Ravi from Sunkathannur. There is no Nada Kacheri (village office) in our village. We have been requesting for a Nada Kacheri for two years, but it has not been done. We request that it be provided.

Okay, tell me, has he taken a license for such an industrial project, for one banne, and he hasn't stopped it, nothing, the work is done, it's been more than three months, I can't even get a building license. Urban and Rural Planning Department indifference.

I am speaking from Ennolle Kuppali. The entire village is being developed, but they are not doing it in front of our house. When asked why it's not being done, they say it hasn't been sanctioned here. Mr. Darshan Putani, please come for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Subject: Request for recognition and development of Hosasayappanahalli village, Dinka Panchayat, Chinakurali Hobli Dear Darshan Sir, I wish to bring to your kind attention a deeply emotional issue of Hosasayappanahalli, a border village between Pandavapura and KR Pete. Historically, people from the old Sayappanahalli lost their homes and lands during the construction of the KRS Dam under the Mysore Wodeyars and were displaced to this new settlement, hence the name “Hosa” Sayappanahalli. Sadly, this village still has no mention in government or panchayat records, leaving residents without an official identity. Being a border village, it also lacks basic development, irrigation, and healthcare facilities. I request your kind intervention to include Hosasayappanahalli in official records and initiate essential development works to improve the lives of its people.

We have repeatedly requested for a revenue office in our village. But they haven't taken any action. If we get a revenue office, it would be a bit convenient for us. -Lokesh.

I am a contractor. There is no approval from the Bakari Gram Panchayat either. I am requesting you to please help me get some approval. I have been working for about five years, as a panchayat assistant, please help me get some approval.

Brother, please speak for a minute. (This is) B.Ed Nagava, from Mandya district, Dudda village, Bevakal post. Brother, here the streets are not connected, the streets are not connected, and the light poles are also not connected, brother. Please build some roads, brother, for the people now.
— Darshan S.K · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
Sir, they said a letter came from the panchayat stating our road would be ready, but then they claimed a stay order was issued. To this day, no one has investigated the matter.

Hello everyone, I am Sunasi Murthy from Sunkatondoor. The road construction work in our village has been somewhat reduced, so I am requesting that it be compensated for. Also, the sanitation of our village and the village itself...

Yes, tell me. Maranahalli village does not have a graveyard. The government has not released a graveyard for us. Please, the poor are facing a lot of trouble. Identify a graveyard there.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, Mandya, Karnataka
This message is from Chandan. Uh it's difficult to take license from the panchayat. A license can just be given in 24 hours if you're talking about digitalization and AI. So improve the panchayat to do so.

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.

So, regarding our Washermen's Street in Aruna, people, including members, have submitted requests many times for the construction of the road. However, they proceed without responding to or even properly acknowledging any of those applications.
— Darshan S.K · 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
Since there is no community hall in our Madarahalli village, we request that it be built. We request that a building be built.

My name is Raju Keretanna. The road system in our village is not good. Also, the road connecting to Chaturka Gram Panchayat is not good. Even though our village is included in the tourism department, there is still no tourism here.

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
We have come from Vasukkannambadi. We have a government encroachment. There is a population of 2000, but we don't have a playground, madam. Then, there is no playground for the school either, madam. Uh, what about that encroachment?
— Bhargvi
Sir, it has been 30 years since the three roads (one at Malayanahalli, Javanahalli, and another Malayanahalli) have been in this condition. Sir, please arrange for the road to be built from Javanahalli to Billiyanahalli. We are unable to go to the village. Please help us go, sir.

In our village Nallanahalli, no road has been built for the past 15 years, and that is why...
— Raghavendra · Krishnarajapete, 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
Sir, in our Melukote assembly constituency, in the Gram Panchayat ward and Taluk Panchayat ward, officials are not responding properly to farmers. Please rectify it properly.

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
A request to the Honorable MLA. I, Paramesh, am a resident of Bagalakote village, Melukote. All of us, generally 20 to 25 houses, have been living in this area for 200-250 years and have been paying our taxes to the Gram Panchayat. However, recently, due to the need to register these properties, they are telling us that we are outside the village limits and that we have a survey number. We have also informed you about this matter. We have requested you to help us get these properties registered through the Gram Panchayat. However, till date, you have not taken any action. Therefore, we are once again making a request to you. We are requesting through this that our house properties be registered.

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.

A center, a hospital for us, should come to our village. That is what is important now because it is 12 kilometers away for us. Mandya is also far. Therefore, for us here
— Manjunatha G B
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
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
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
There are no industries in our village, so please open and develop them. It would be good if you do that, sir. All the children are waiting here.
— Darshan S.K
We are waiting for them to act in the future. Let's see when it will happen. We have taken this initiative, worked hard, and conducted business with the hope of some development today. They should have considered that.
— Manjunatha G B
Sir, it's not repaired, please get it repaired. Also, we need to be given the title deed and all that. And Sir, our house is an old, tile-roofed house, it's about to collapse/fall apart. We don't have a grant, please help us get one.
