Sir,

I wish to express my deep concern regarding the lack of proper streetlights and the increasing incidents of petty crimes along the Bogadi – Beerihundi – Gaddige stretch.

This road is used daily by commuters, students and travellers, yet the poor lighting conditions make it unsafe at night.

There have been frequent reports of thefts and accidents, particularly affecting those returning from work or travelling late in the evening. I urge the Bogadi Town Panchayat, our MLA and the MP to take immediate steps to improve streetlighting and ensure adequate Police patrolling in this area.

Ensuring safety and maintaining basic infrastructure will not only protect citizens but also uphold Mysuru’s image as a peaceful and well-managed city.

I am a regular and proud reader of Star of Mysore, and I sincerely appreciate this column for giving citizens like me a meaningful platform to express our thoughts and concerns for the betterment of our city.

I thank Star of Mysore for being a strong and consistent voice for Mysureans, bringing attention to both the good and the bad, and inspiring civic improvement and public awareness.
