Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) authorities to the plight of residents of 5th Main Road, 6th Cross, Saraswathipuram. Around ten days ago, the road in our locality was dug up for civic works. Though the trench has since been filled, the road surface has not been properly…
Sir, It is indeed shocking and sad to see our young Indians, who had come to attend the Agniveer (Technical) Army Recruitment Online Examination at Hebbal in Mysuru, were forced to sleep on pavements and roadside shrubs amidst sultry weather conditions (Star of Mysore dated June 4). The Ministry of Defence (MoD), which comes under…
Ecosystem facing rising traffic and habitat pressure Sir, It is a well-known fact that Chamundi Hill is a precious piece of wilderness nestled in the bustling city of Mysuru. It hosts an exceptional variety of flora and fauna, thriving on the rich vegetation in the region. On May 31, we (Jagadish, Nagaraju and I) sighted…

Packs of dozens of stray dogs suddenly descend during nights and mornings, daily howling without break. The night barking is highly ferocious, and we, particularly senior citizens, are never allowed to sleep and…
Sir, Most of the traffic signal light timings in Mysuru appear to be anti-pedestrian. The time allotted for crossing roads is barely ten seconds, making it extremely difficult for pedestrians, particularly senior citizens and children, to cross the roads safely. I urge the Traffic Police authorities to reset pedestrian crossing timings at all junctions in…
