Sir, Kudos to Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) for the recent initiative taken to install high-quality location and road indicator boards throughout the city in Kannada. These boards serve as invaluable aids to the public, who can read Kannada. The estimated population of Mysuru city in 2024 is 12,65,000 and the metro population is 14,05,000, experiencing…

Sir, There seems to be a lot of attempts going on, in and around the city, to grab lands belonging to the public.
