A 55-year-old man has spent around ₹2 lakh from his own pocket to lay a mud road in Yadahalli village, Hunsagi taluk of Yadgir district, and fulfilled the promise that he made to voters during the Assembly elections.
Saibanna Pujari, a former gram panchayat president and a small farmer in Yadahalli village, has laid the mud road to a length of three kilometres enabling farmers to reach their agriculture fields without any hindrance.
Earlier, it was a small road. Therefore, farmers were facing difficulties during the rainy season when they were transporting seeds, fertilizers and other agriculture equipment in tractors or other modes of transportation to reach their fields. Therefore, the villagers had demanded a road when Pujari sought votes for Congress candidate in Shorapur constituency Raja Venakatappa Naik in the last Assembly elections. Responding to them, Pujari promised them a road, if Mr. Naik is elected.
