Our Ward faces many problems, and though it is One more luxurious area, does not have a basic facility.
“There is no street light that says that the lack of the right road that connects the ward to another of Hubballi-Dharwad is the main problem.
The number of street lights was inadequate, which resulted in the remaining plots in the dark for a better part of the night.
“There is a lot of fears among people because of the lack of street lights; women, in particular, afraid of their homes.
Eve-teasing incidents have been reported in the ward too.
