@MinOfCultureGoI We wanted to visit the Jain temple at Sulthan Bathery Wayanad. As per timings of 8:00am we reached there around the same time only to realise the gate was locked. We waited till
8:30am but yet the gate was locked. Really disappointed and did not expect this.

I also contacted forest officer Mr. Sudarshan but again there seems to be no movement. Hereby sharing photos of the same. Pls help us clear the main road and footpath and keep our area clean and free of disease @dineshgrao @aranya_kfd @BBMPofficial @BbmpchdTeam @swaccha_bbmp

I am a resident of Seshadripuram- ward number 94 (Gandhinagar ward). A tree had fallen outside our apartment on 22/7/25 and the entire bark along with large branches were chopped off by BBMP department blocking our gate entrance & footpath. @dineshgrao @BBMPofficial @BbmpchdTeam

[Dr. Ricken Mehta🇮🇳 @Ken_Nephrology]

The entire footpath outside the appartment is now covered by the chopped branches. We were told- officials will come to clear it. It has been 1 week thereafter but no official showed up. I have called BBMP through the complaint number and followed up but no action has been taken
