The minor irrigation department has allocated Rs 2 crore for the project.
Ponnanna emphasised the importance of quality construction and urged Amma Kodava community members to monitor the progress. He also announced an additional amount of Rs 20 lakh grant for the development of Amma Kodava Samaja, encouraging proper utilisation of funds.
At the event, chaired by Samaja president Bananda Prithvi, community leader Umesh Kechamaiah recalled that the Samaja building was constructed 22 years ago.
The area faces annual flooding from the Keere stream during monsoons, with water stagnation threatening the building's structure. Despite decades of appeals to various representatives for the construction of a retaining wall, funding remained unavailable until now, and the dream came true.
The Samaja members commended MLA Ponnanna for fulfilling his election promise. The attendees included district Congress president and Guarantee Implementation Committee District president Theethira Dharmaja Uthappa, Ponnampet block Congress president Meederira Naveen, Gonikoppa gram panchayat president Kullachanda Pramod Ganapathi, and others.

Russia in deep trouble as US decides to provide arms to Ukraine through..., missiles and rockets worth Rs 250000000000000 to be....
Russia in deep trouble as US decides to provide arms to Ukraine through..., missiles and rockets worth Rs 250000000000000 to be.... The Russia-Ukraine war is far from over. In the latest development, US President Donald Trump said that the US will send weapons to Ukraine through NATO and NATO will bear the full cost of these weapons. This move comes after the negotiation on ceasefire failed between Russia and Ukraine. Notably, US itself is a member of NATO which is an international military alliance. By 2025, NATO has 32 member countries. Its purpose is to ensure collective security of member countries and protect them from external attacks. US contributes 66% to NATO expenses. What will be the cost of the aid? According to media reports, the US is preparing to send a package of $300 million (Rs 2.5 thousand crores) to Ukraine, which will include Patriot missile systems and medium-range rockets, although a final decision on the weapons is yet to be taken. This is a legal method that allows the President to send weapons directly from US stockpiles in bad times. Earlier, the Trump administration had only sent weapons approved by former President Joe Biden to Ukraine. What is agreement on arms between US, NATO and Ukraine? This new arms agreement is between the US, NATO and Ukraine. Earlier the US used to send arms directly to Ukraine, but now this process will happen through NATO. Rs 90 thousand crores aid to Ukraine A conference for the reconstruction of Ukraine was held in Rome, the capital of Italy. In this conference, Ukraine was promised aid of 10 billion euros (Rs 90 thousand crores rupees). The European Commission announced aid of 2.3 billion euros (about 2.7 billion dollars). Zelensky said at this conference that Russia's assets should be used to rebuild Ukraine. He also demanded increased arms supplies, joint defense production and investment. The Ukraine Reconstruction Conference, held in Rome on 10 and 11 July 2025, is attended by 38 countries and several international organisations.

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah refutes BJP's 'Rahul Gandhi humiliated him' claim
Refuting BJP leader Amit Malviya's allegation that Rahul Gandhi had 'humiliated' him by denying a meeting, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said his primary purpose in Delhi was to discuss Mysuru's Dasara Air Show with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of betraying Kannadigas by denying Central funds.(PTI) "My primary work in Delhi was to meet Defence Minister Shri @rajnathsingh to discuss the Air Show during Dasara in Mysuru. Shri @RahulGandhi has immense affection for the people of Karnataka," Siddaramaiah said in a post on X. "He always remembers how Smt Indira Gandhi and Smt Sonia Gandhi were elected from Karnataka, and how the state has stood by the Congress at every critical juncture. The Gandhi Family, including Shri Rahul Gandhi, remain deeply indebted to the love showered by the people of Karnataka, and our AICC President Shri Mallikarjun @kharge is a proud Kannadiga," he added. The Chief Minister accused the BJP of betraying Kannadigas by denying Central funds. "While Shri Rahul Gandhi remains committed to bringing positive, transformative change in Karnataka, the @BJP4India has betrayed Kannadigas by denying the funds we rightfully deserve. Even when Karnataka suffered devastating floods, the Prime Minister @narendramodi did not utter a word," he said. He also alleged that the BJP MPs from Karnataka do not have the spine to stand up to PM Modi for the rights of Kannadigas. "@BJP4KarnatakaMPs do not have the spine to stand up to Narendra Modi for the rights of Kannadigas. For Modi, Karnataka exists only during elections; for Congress, Karnataka's welfare is a daily commitment," he said. Earlier in a post on X, Amit Malviya accused Rahul Gandhi of humiliating Siddaramaiah by denying an appointment the latter had sought. "Humiliation in Delhi for Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah! He travelled all the way to the capital, only to be denied an appointment by Rahul Gandhi--and has now returned without even a meeting," Malviya said in the post. "This isn't the first time a Gandhi has insulted a senior leader from Karnataka. History remembers how Rajiv Gandhi unceremoniously sacked an ailing Veerendra Patil, triggering the Congress's downfall in the state. Now, a weakened Siddaramaiah is forced to hide behind the very man plotting against him--DK Shivakumar, who is eagerly waiting to take his chair. The Congress, and the Gandhis in particular, have always treated Kannadigas with disdain. This is just the latest example," he added. Siddaramaiah had dismissed speculation about a change in the state's leadership, asserting that there has been no discussion with the Congress high command about the change. "How many times do I tell you, it (speculations around Karnataka CM post) was not discussed at all? This issue was not discussed at all with the high command," Siddaramaiah said on Friday.
