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.

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.

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
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
We are Keretanuru Praveen. In our village, the drainage system is not very good. They keep dumping all the sewage here. Please fix that.

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...

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
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 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.

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
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, 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.

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
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.

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.

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'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
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.

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.
— rakshitha raju · Sunkatonnuru, 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
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.

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
The roads in the village are our biggest problem. All the roads are dug up and in disarray. We need the roads to be repaired. That's our only problem, nothing else. All the roads near the circle are also in a bad state. We are requesting that the roads be developed a bit.
— Preetham Preethu · Aralakuppe, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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

Sir, I am Darshan from Shyadanahalli village. Please repair or reconstruct the 3 km road from the KRS-Pandavapura main road gate to my village. No one has brought this to your attention, so please do us this favor, sir.
— Darshan Ramu
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
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
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.
— Manjunatha G B
Our Kiro Thannuru Parasadvayam is a place with many problems, we request you to correct them properly and build a proper stadium. Also, develop schools and colleges.
— 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 running. This is Mandaburam, a village near Adakkur. Our village road and increased water supply are the main needs. Sir, we have a big issue to raise.
— Smriti Tiwari · Pandavapura, Mandya, Karnataka
The roads in the village are causing us a lot of problems. All the roads are dug up and have become unusable, so we need the roads to be repaired. That's our only problem, there are no other issues. All the roads around the circles are in a bad state, so please develop the roads a bit for us.
— Preetham Preethu
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
Sir, I am H M Ramesh. There is a road problem for about 25 people. Please fix it.
— Manjunatha G B · Attiganahalli, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
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
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
In the village, some of these street lights are not working properly. Please fix them a bit, that's all. Is there any mask?
