Mangaluru City Corporation Commissioner Rahul Ratnam Pandey recently visited Ullal Hoige to address pressing public issues, notably a severe drinking water crisis.

Residents of Ullal Hoige highlighted their urgent need for a drinking water pipeline installation and also submitted requests for a bus stop, road improvements, and bus services. Commissioner Pandey acknowledged the severity of the water problem, emphasizing its top priority status given the district's expected dry summer and drought conditions.
He advised residents to submit a formal petition with at least 50 signatures for the pipeline installation, assuring swift tender approval and project commencement within the next week. Additionally, Pandey visited the Bajal material recovery plant, operated by Plastic Fischer in collaboration with MCC, to inspect waste recycling processes and offered the city corporation's full support.
Further inspections included the stormwater drain on Jeppinamogaru-Kudupadi road, where he examined the trash boom system managed by Plastic Fischer for collecting plastic waste. The organization detailed its plastic waste collection frequency, noting it increases during the rainy season.
