Villagers Build Road After Years of Government Inaction
In a village called Chikkamallanahole in Davanagere district, people were tired of waiting for the government to fix their road.
They had been asking for a proper tar road since Independence, but nothing happened.
So, they decided to fix it themselves.
They collected money from everyone in the village, hired machines, and filled potholes, leveled the road, and dug drains.
This road is important because it connects many villages and is used by buses and other vehicles.
When it rains, the road becomes very muddy and dangerous.
The villagers are happy with their temporary fix but want the government to build a permanent, proper road.
They feel the government should take responsibility for basic infrastructure.
