Madikeri, Nov. 14: The government has failed to provide housing and has been neglecting flood victims who lost their homes in 2018 by not providing them with housing, alleged G.P. Former President, Karnataka State Western Ghats Conservation Task Force Former President Shanteya A. Ravikushalappa.
Speaking at a press conference held at the city's Patrika Bhawan, he said that residents of many villages in Madikeri taluk have lost their homes in the natural disaster that occurred in 2018. The government and the district administration have failed to provide houses to many genuine beneficiaries so far. The officials are harassing the beneficiaries who have applied till today without giving proper answers. More than 150 people who have not been provided houses are still in a precarious situation, and many of the houses built for flood victims are vacant. Houses near the RTO office in Jambur, Madikeri and Madde should be allotted to them. Recently, the authorities have withdrawn the application submitted by a beneficiary. Along with this, many homeless people have been applying for housing for many years. However, they have not been able to provide a house so far. Warning that if appropriate action is not taken, the homeless will be organized and fight, he said, adding that the people's representatives are not listening to the people's demands, and the government is in a situation where it is not there. Neighborhood victim Radha said that her house in 2nd Monnangeri was completely destroyed in 2018. However, the house has not been sanctioned till now. If the officials are questioned, they will give irresponsible answers.
K.A. Somayya, a resident of Bettathur Balekandi Hadi, said that it has not been possible to provide electricity to our Hadi, where the Kudya community lives. A situation has been created where people live in the dark. Development work is not being carried out due to the forest department's obstruction. The situation is similar in the hilly areas of Bettathur. During the last election, electric poles were brought in to provide electricity. They complained that they were taken away immediately after the election.
Their daughter Manjula died in a natural disaster and her body has not been found yet. Since a missing person's case was registered, the death certificate has not been issued till today.

They expressed dissatisfaction that this too has not been fulfilled. Landless Madikeri's Jaya, Padma, and farmer Shantaya Ada Bopaiah were present at the meeting.
