Moodubelle, 25 August 2010: It is a common practice among common people to blame administration for any kind of inconvenience they face and remain unmoved. Be it the roads or any other amenities which require immediate attention. During rainy season, the muddy roads get eroded due to flow of rain water and wild plants and bushes grow by the side making the movement of  smaller vehicles like rickshaws difficult and even for residents of the area to walk freely on such patches of roads.

However, rather than depending on the  administration, certain work on the improvement of the amenities can be undertaken by the local people themselves. This was exactly what was done by  the residents between Kukkupalke and Mulikambla  by mending the inner road between these two localities connecting the Moodubelle-Arbi road.  Realizing  the difficulties faced by the people of the area, Ms. Teresa Lobo took up the leadership and mobilized the local residents on Tuesday, 24 August 2010 in the afternoon and  cleared the inner road from Kukkuplake to Mulikambla a distance of nearly a kilometer. By this voluntary  this group of residents proved that rather than waiting the administration, it would be prudent to join hands and get the work done, thus giving a lesson in unity and cooperation.
