Hassan: The back of the house collapsed due to heavy rains last year. They brought it to the notice of the Gram Panchayat to get repairs done but to no avail. When Mahendra was informed about this, S. Virupaksha repaired the house with the help of the youth and god bless him, said Eeramma, a needy old woman from Keshavnagar.
