  "account": "K. Shivakumar, Member of the Legislative Council (MLC), has called on the State government to build a bus shelter at Bedarapur for the benefit of students at Chamarajanagar University’s Suvarna Gangothri campus. In a letter to the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister, Eshwar Khandre, Shivakumar highlighted that numerous students travel daily from Chamarajanagar, Nanjangud, Mysuru, Gundlupet, Kollegal, Yelandur, and surrounding villages to attend the university. The current bus shelter on the route to Nanjangud is in poor condition and has no roof, causing students to wait in the sun, he noted. Additionally, there is no bus shelter at Venkataiahna Chathra village in the district. While praising the State government’s plan to construct 1,000 bus shelters across Karnataka, Shivakumar urged the Minister to prioritize Bedarapur and Venkataiahna Chathra when selecting locations for the facilities.",
