Kudige, Aug. 8: More than 25 families of Scheduled Castes live in a village near the road leading to Byadagotta, Seegehosur, Yalakanur under the jurisdiction of Kudige Gram Panchayat. But for the past 35 years, the residents here have not yet received the blessing of houses.
The 25 families are also extremely poor and earn their living as wage laborers. Although more than 10 houses collapsed due to heavy rains, the government has given a small amount of compensation and promised to build new houses on the basis of Scheduled Castes, but even after 35 years, no houses have been built.
Although the families here have opportunities to build houses under various housing schemes including the government's Rajiv Gandhi Housing Scheme and Basava Housing Scheme, the condition of the houses of the 10 families living here has deteriorated due to the lack of adequate action by the concerned department. In some houses, one side wall has collapsed, but people are still living in it.
In another village, the roofs of 12 families have been damaged due to rain, and rainwater is falling inside the houses, so these families are relying on plastic sheets. Although all three district collectors have already visited the spot and instructed the taluk-level officials to take action, there has been no response yet.
Residents of this place, Iramma, Kalaiah, Krishna, Arun, Sujatha, Kamalamma, Muthamma, Lakshma Ganesh, Ramakrishna Kariappa, Mahesh, said that despite raising their grievances many times before the district collector, taluk-level officials, and politicians, there has been no response.
The villagers allege that even after 6 months since Madikeri constituency MLA Dr. Mantar Gowda visited the spot and inspected it on the request of the villagers of Byadagotta, the officials concerned have not visited and received adequate information. The Gram Panchayat Development Officer and Secretary came and took the number of houses but no action has been taken so far. Only the number of houses in the demolition stage is in the Gram Panchayat book! No action has been taken after that.
Three families live
Three families live in a house in the demolition stage here. Those concerned need to take some more action to provide basic amenities including a proper drainage system and houses for this village.-K.K. Nagarajshetty
