    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

    🌧️ 🗑️ 🤢

    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

    🚧 ❓ 😠

    Should we say this? Can a handicapped child build a concrete path in front of the house? And this drainage needs to be cleaned. I told you.

    — 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

    🛣️ 🚫 🧹

    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

    🗑️ 🚫 😔

    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

    🕳️ 👶 🙏

    Sir, we are from Sunkathonooru village. Since there is no drainage system near our house, we have dug pits in front of our house and released water into them. A child had fallen into one of those pits. Fortunately, the child is not in any danger. We humbly request you to please provide a drainage system. Since our Panchayat has not taken any action, I have tried to explain our problem to you. I hope you will provide a solution for this.

    — Preethi.s Gowda · Sunkatonnuru, 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

    🏘️ 🚧 🛠️

    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

    🏠 💧 🚶‍♀️

    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

    💧 ⚡️ 🙏

    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

    🛣️ 💧 🚧

    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

    💧 💩 🙏

    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

    🚧 🚫 😠

    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

    🕳️ 🌧️ 🌉

    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

    🏡 💩 🙏

    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

    🚧 🚫 ❓

    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?

    — Darshan S.K · Hatna, 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

    🏘️ 🗑️ 🧹

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 💧

    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

    🏞️ 🗑️ 🙏

    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

    🏘️ ❌ 🚧

    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

    🏠 🚧 🌊

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🏘️ 🏗️ 📉

    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

    💧 💩 🤢

    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

    🚧 🚶‍♀️ 😔

    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

    🤢 🗣️ 😩

    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

    🏘️ 🚧 🙏

    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

    🚧 💧 🚫

    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, 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

    🐕 👶 ⚠️

    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

    🚧 🏗️ ✨

    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

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🚧 ✊

    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

    🚧 🤦 🛣️

    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

    🛣️ 🚫 🙏

    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

    🛁 🚫 🔧

    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.
