    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

    🚧 🚶‍♀️ 😔

    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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    📜 🚫 ❓

    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.

    — Manjunatha G B

    ✍️ 🚧 ⌛

    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.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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

    🏡 🌱 ✂️

    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

    🤢 🗣️ 😩

    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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    Hey, we are here. Are they taking us away? They should look after us. Build a road for us. We are having trouble on that very road. Give us this land back, and those too.

    — Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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

    🛣️ 🏗️ ✅

    Hello, this is our route. Please make a road here; that's enough for us, we don't need anything else. Please develop and make good roads. That one has stopped; all the bylaws will be done.

    — Preetham P U · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka

    🗣️ 🚧 🚫

    They just say 'later', claiming the government told them they would provide it here, but that work never happens. They say 'we will get this road built', they just keep saying it, but they never actually build it.

    — Likith Dip · Machahalli, 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.

    — Pramodh k s

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🛣️ 💥 🚶‍♀️

    I am not making any noise or anything. The road to Shivashaila, which is the route to go to the side of the parcel, is not correct. The tar has all peeled off. Please get it repaired a bit, sir. It's difficult to walk, and children will face difficulties.

    — Likith Dip

    🚧 🚶‍♂️ ⏳

    The work is neat. They were also doing the ground and our work and then what was in the middle of the concrete road from the road, they were doing everything themselves, they left one by one, they didn't do it. I have half a year

    — Uma mahadevappa · Bevukallu, 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

    💰 📉 🚫

    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, 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.

    — Madesha 171

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    ❓ 🧐 🚫

    Sir, what happened there? We have an issue concerning Chiradi among us. People who were expecting more work from a certain side are just observing faces. The party thinks they are of that kind. Nothing will happen according to their wishes.

    — Darshan S.K · Kharadya, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏗️ 🚫 🙏

    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.

    — Meenaa Shankar · Ennehole Koppalu, 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

    🚧 💧 🤢

    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

    🏛️ 🚧 😠

    No, they are not doing it. No one from the government. Once a bull appeared. For three days, even the minor roads in the village are not ready. Modi's governance, Modi's governance! No one is cleaning, right? Who will do it? Come and see the village, look at the Gram Panchayat (village council).

    — 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

    🚫 🤏 🏘️

    We say we won't give anything to those who say no. So they say they can't give everything. But even then, within our Panchayat limits or within our local Melkote area, what should happen is that...

    — Manjunatha G B · Sunkatonnuru, 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

    🚧 🤦 🛣️

    Inside the road construction, nothing is properly built. There's no road in any of the three sections. Everything is dug up and left unfinished. First, the drains haven't been laid, and the base layers haven't been cemented. They haven't even made a cement road. There must be all sorts of problems here.

    — Kushal Shekar · Haravu, Mandya, Karnataka

    🏘️ ❌ 🚧

    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

    🕳️ 🌧️ 🌉

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🚧 🏗️ ✨

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🛣️ 💔 🙏

    Hello Sir, I am Vinayraj from Pandavapura, Visvesvaraya Nagara Housing Board Colony. The roads in this area have been in poor condition for 20 years. Kindly repair the roads here.

    — Vinayraj manju · حولي - قطعة 1, حولي, Unknown

    🛣️ 🚫 🙏

    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

    🏭 📜 🤷‍♀️

    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.

    — Darshan S.K · 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.
