The problem outcome of the meeting was that the fitter Naga is not the operating the water facility properly because the people of the village has not given money which has to be given to him as usual. Each household has to contribute Rs. 10/- to be given to him. The people say they have to contribute money to the WUG fund as well give the fitter. Since money has not been given to the fitter now, he has stopped operating the water system for the sake of money. He has been paid Rs. 240/- by the Masinagudi panchayat.

A suggestion was given to contribute 50% of the contribution money given to the WUG to the fitter to tide over the situation. People had they will convene a village meeting & decide on this issue.

The people left the upper portion have no choice of doing agriculture since no water. When asked to go down & do agriculture since all of them have land down. Few hesitated because not all have land in the below portion. Hallamani told she cannot do there because she has no land down.

The water from Dhanakadavu has been slowed down due to unknown reason. They wanted to check the pipeline & get it corrected. They had suspected some leakage somewhere due to elephants. At Indranagar the tap at the filling point is leaking. It has to be replaced or leakage stopped. At Indranagar the people was asked to agriculture & ploughing the land through bulls suggested. The lands have been ploughed & land has been taken back by the tenant(Saroja). Few problems between the JeenuKurumbars & the main village.
