It is neglected from 1956 with zero development; Government always degrades Coorg and doesn’t provide any infrastructure, there are No Good Hospitals, No Good Educational Institutions, No Employment Opportunities, No Good Roads, they provide with developments which are not required like RAIL TO COORG, Building DAMS, and they expect the people of Coorg to be happy and Celebrate “Kannada Rajyotsava” as a great Festival, How can we celebrate your Festival? When our day is full of tears? Today the reason why Coorgs are dividing a separate state is Karnataka! If they provide good development then hope the Coorgs may change their stand!
