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.

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
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
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
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
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.
— Likith Dip · Shivalli, 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
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
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
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
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
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
There are enough grants coming to the panchayat, but they are not being implemented. Many poor people have not received houses. It's surprising. So many people are in sheds, in temporary shelters, many near their land.
— Darshan S.K
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
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
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
Let Hari and the road issues be resolved. I already mentioned it for another 15 seconds, just let it be. There are people to handle road and drainage matters. That's all, brother; if you consider all problems as 'road problems,' then what exactly is a road problem?
— Ranjan · Mahadeshwarapura, Mandya, Karnataka
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
In our village Nallanahalli, no road has been built for the past 15 years, and that is why...
— Raghavendra · Krishnarajapete, 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
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
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
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
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...
— rakshitha raju
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 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
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.
— rakshitha raju · Mahadeshwarapura, 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, 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
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.
