Bhatkal: Responding to public demands to address long-pending issues in the low-lying Hursaal area of Ranginkatte, Bhatkal, the Chief Officer of the Jali Pattana Panchayat visited the locality and reviewed the situation on the ground.

Residents also pointed out the overgrown bushes along the roadside and the narrow passageways, which create difficulties for pedestrians and vehicles. The Chief Officer promised to instruct the sanitation team to clear the bushes and improve accessibility.
