    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

    💧 ⚡️ 🙏

    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

    🏡 💩 🙏

    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

    🛣️ 🚫 🧹

    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

    🛣️ 🚫 ✨

    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

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🙏

    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

    🏠 🚧 😡

    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

    🚧 💧 🤢

    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

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🧹

    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

    🏘️ 🗑️ 🧹

    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

    💧 💩 🙏

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🛠️

    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

    🍺 🧑‍🎓 ⚖️

    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.

    🤢 🗣️ 😩

    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

    🍺 🗣️ 🤷

    This is one of the worst things here. I raised a complaint about alcohol being sold in our village's major general store. Actually, this isn't a personal matter or a minor issue; it significantly contributes to the growth of our village. However, the problem is that these complaints have had zero impact – no action has been taken, and even now, they sell more black market alcohol than before 😂. The people in the panchayat office know everything but pretend not to. I respect Darshan sir, but please take some action on these kinds of issues. I know it might seem like a silly matter to handle, but the result will be very effective for the poor people.

    — Kumar

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🌧️ 🗑️ 🤢

    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.

    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

    🚰 🔌 🚫

    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

    🚧 🚑 🛠️

    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

    🛣️ 🕳️ 🛠️

    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

    🏘️ 🏗️ 📉

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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.

    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...

    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.

    🏞️ 🛠️ 💧

    Please desilt the LBL canal a bit. That's why we are asking, as a lot of farmers are facing problems. If the LBL canal is desilted, we won't have water problems. Please fix it and select one more.

    — Likith Dip · Haravu, 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

    🚧 🏗️ ✨

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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.

    🛣️ 🚧 🙏

    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.

    🛣️ 🌧️ 🏗️

    Please sir, there are three roads, which are very muddy roads. Please take action on them and get those roads developed for us, sir. You need to develop them for us.

    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

    🛣️ 💥 ⚠️

    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.

    🍺 💸 📉

    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

    🛣️ 💧 🚧

    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.

    🏘️ ❌ 🤷

    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

    🛣️ 🚧 💥

    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

    🚧 🚫 ❓

    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?
