Kanive, Nov. 12: The festival of the village deity Banashankari will be held on the 21st of December in Hebbale village of Kushalnagar taluk, a large village in North Kodagu, which is held on the model of Madikeri Dasara.
There are only a few days left for the festival. But the gram panchayat has not yet welcomed the devotees who come for the festival. The garbage collected in the entire village has been dumped on the side of the Kushalnagar-Hassan state highway that passes through the village for the past several months.
There is also a primary health center on this same road that takes care of the health of the people of the village, and a situation has arisen where patients have to cover their noses.
A plexiglass wishing the constituency MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda on his birthday has also been installed near this garbage-filled waste.
But here the local panchayat administration should have at least had a sense.
At least the place where the portrait of the MLA of the constituency is installed should have been kept clean.
Or, the activists who put up the portrait of the MLA where there is such dirty waste should have thought. It is as if tourists coming to Kodagu district from Hassan see the pile of garbage on the side of this highway and mock that this is a clean Kodagu. Even though the entire Kodagu Swachh Kodagu campaign was launched last month and created awareness among the people, the local body officials or the administration should have thought at least a little. The panchayat should have taken the initiative to clean this highway.
