This information was shared by villagers Supi, Ibrahim, K.A. Latheef, Razak, Dinesh, Udayakumar David Johnson, Mamatha and other villagers expressed their dissatisfaction with the report.

Gaddehalla residents Ruksan, Razak and Pattemane Udayakumar spoke and said that the wastewater of Suntikoppa town and flood water during the rainy season are entering the agriculture and houses and proper drainage system should be provided. They expressed their anger that the problem has increased due to incomplete work being carried out in some places.
CSI temple priests Madhu Kiran, William and Ratna Kumar said that the Kodava community hall is being used till late at night in violation of the rules and DJs and loudspeakers are being used in the hall till late at night. It is a residential area with churches and mosques, which is causing health problems. The concerned departments will be informed and appropriate action will be taken in this regard. Nodal officer Siddegowda of the meeting informed that after receiving the comprehensive report, the executive officer will be called and further action will be taken.
A heated discussion was held in the meeting regarding the garbage disposal of the town and dissatisfaction was expressed regarding the garbage disposal of the panchayat. Panchayat Development Officer V.G. Lokesh said that there is only a dry garbage disposal unit in Suntikoppa and there is a guideline that the respective households should dispose of the wet garbage. He appealed for the cooperation of the people in garbage disposal.
K.A. Latheef and Dinesh had alleged with documents that houses and shops were built in private plots in the Gram Sabha, mainly to provide water facilities to the houses, and the fish and meat shops of the panchayat were built on the land of a private person, and the public money of the panchayat was wasted. When the Panchayat President, members and PDO tried to refute this, Dinesh showed the map and official documents he had and drew attention to it.
Speaking about the Parvathamma Layout, Mamata said that there is discrimination and a stepmotherly attitude between the private Lotus Layout and Parvathamma Layout regarding water and basic facilities, and there is a lack of unity among all the members of the Panchayat Administrative Board. The current administrative board is accusing the previous administrative board, and if the next administrative board accuses the current administrative board, what will be your response? He also expressed his anger that the common people are getting tired of the accusations and counter-accusations of the administrative boards.
Speaking on the occasion, Panchayat President P.R. Sunil Kumar said that a notice has been given to the owner of Lotus Lejat and action will be taken in this regard in the coming days.
K.A. Latheef said that a large number of unauthorized buildings, including some encroachments, have been constructed in the Panchayat area.
