Residents are even unable to walk fearlessly in the village, as there are no street lights.
The atmosphere in S Venkatapura provides a congenial ground for the breakout of many diseases.
No bus service

“ Politicians who arrive at our doorstep during elections and make umpteen promises, refuse to set their foot in our village, once they are voted to power,” observed people at S Venkatapura. “We cannot protest against the injustice, as making the ends meet in itself is a big struggle for most of us in the village,” observed the disillusioned villagers. “Politicians who seek our votes should fulfil them, as well. The officers concerned should implement the various infrastructure projects initiated by the State government,” urged Channamma.
