The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Villagers of Kanahalli in Sorab taluk planted rice seedlings in a pothole on their road to protest the authorities' failure to maintain it.
- The road, last asphalted in 2007, connects Kanahalli, Kannuru and Maisavi villages, and rain-filled potholes make daily travel risky for schoolchildren, the elderly and others.
- Villagers say they have been filling potholes themselves for five years, that emergencies like taking the elderly or pregnant women to hospital are difficult, and that they have raised the issue with minister Madhu Bangarappa without any response.
- They are demanding immediate pothole repairs and re-asphalting of the road.
What to watch next
- Whether the taluk administration orders pothole repairs or re-asphalting of the road
- Any response from minister Madhu Bangarappa, whom villagers say they have approached repeatedly
- Whether villagers hold further protests if repairs do not begin
