Residents Plant Banana Trees in Bhagamandala to Protest Poor Road Conditions

Bhagamandala, Jul. 20: The office bearers of the Bhagamandala BJP Shakti Kendra and villagers simultaneously protested at the Bhagamandala-Napoklu road junction and Karike road junction, demanding that the road repair work be started immediately and smooth traffic be facilitated. They expressed their anger by planting banana trees in the potholes.

The Bhagamandala-Napoklu road has potholes, making it difficult for vehicles to move. During the rainy season, vehicles are filled with muddy water everywhere, making it difficult for drivers to drive. The public is also facing problems. The government is counting on Pisces and Aries to take up the road work and is not responding to the problems of the common people. The office bearers of the Shakti Kendra and villagers expressed their anger and shouted defiance against the government.

They demanded that the Bhagamandala Overbridge repair work be carried out immediately. The public of Bhagamandala Ayyangeri and Chettimani areas have repeatedly appealed to the Cauvery Irrigation Corporation and the Public Works Department to repair the road, but to no avail; Written appeals have been submitted to all departments. Despite repeated appeals, the problem has not been resolved. A situation has arisen where vehicles cannot ply on the Bhagamandala-Karike Road and Bhagamandala Napoklu Road. In addition, there is knee-deep water on the Bhagamandala Overbridge Road. The water falling from the overbridge does not go into the drain but falls directly on people and vehicles, and immediate repair work needs to be carried out. The nameplate made during the inauguration has fallen. The protesters demanded that these necessary works in the Bhagamandala area should be taken up and the problems of the public should be addressed.

On this occasion, Public Works Department Engineer Umesh, who arrived at the spot, responded and said that the Talakaveri-Hunsur road work is under the review of the contractor. Tenders have already been called and the road work will be taken up. After the rainy season, the Ayyangeri-Bhagamandala road repair work will be undertaken. He assured that the Tannimani-Karike road will be repaired soon. Later, the protest was called off.

From 10.30 am to 12 noon, a protest was held by blocking the connection of Napoklu-Bhagamandala, Madikeri-Bhagamandala roads. Tight police security was arranged during the protest. Shakti Kendra President Kudupaje Kuldeep, former Gram Panchayat President Kalana Ravi, prominent figures Sirakaje Nagesh, Ame Harish, Nidyamale Challan, Ayyangeriiya Jeevan, office bearers of Ayyangeri and Bhagamandala Shakti Kendras, and villagers participated in the protest.

Due to the protest on Monday, the day of the festival, citizens who arrived for the festival had to walk without any transportation facilities. Pilgrims who arrived at the venue faced problems.
