KIADB’s hollow promises in Mysuru Sir, The civic infrastructure in Mysuru’s primary manufacturing belt has hit a frustrating low, exposing a systemic cycle of superficial fixes and abandoned commitments. Following a scathing report in Star of Mysore detailing the horrific state of local industrial corridors, repair crews briefly arrived, secured their photo opportunities and vanished….
Keep Lingambudhi Lake free for walkers
August 29, 2026Sir, The Forest Department’s decision to introduce an entry fee at Lingambudhi Lake from Sept. 1, 2026, deserves reconsideration. Lingambudhi Lake is not merely a tourist spot. It is a much-loved natural space used every day by hundreds of Mysuru residents for morning and evening walks, exercise and relaxation, including many senior citizens. Charging an…
Underground cabling: Who is accountable?
August 28, 2026Sir, The large-scale underground electrical cabling work underway across Mysuru is causing considerable inconvenience to residents. While modernising the city’s electrical infrastructure is welcome, the manner in which the work is being executed raises serious concerns. Extensive trenching has damaged existing water pipelines and drainage systems at several locations, without adequate and timely restoration. More…

August 27, 2026Sir, Here are some measures to ease traffic movement and reduce the risk of accidents at key spots across Mysuru city: 1.

Plea to stop white-topping of Vishwamanava Double Road
August 26, 2026Sir, Just now I saw a complete video of Vishwamanava Double Road done by a concerned citizen. The road is so beautiful and it appears, the authorities are planning to do white-topping over this excellent road with very smooth, tiled footpaths ! Moreover many plants could be found on either side of the road. Is…
Two-wheelers encroach busy Kalidasa Road
August 25, 2026Sir, The road opposite ICICI Bank on busy Kalidasa Road has become unusable due to complete neglect by MCC Zone-4 engineers and V.V. Puram Traffic Police. The entire stretch of road, which is marked as a ‘No Parking Zone’, is blocked by two-wheelers. This forces pedestrians, including children and senior citizens, to walk over drain…
Why apathy towards Lingambudhi Road?
August 24, 2026Sir, I wish to highlight the long- standing apathy of the authorities towards the construction and proper development of Lingambudhi Road in Srirampura 2nd Stage, near Mahalingeshwara Temple. Residents have been waiting for years for a proper road. Despite repeated civic complaints and the area’s continued development, this essential stretch remains neglected. Citizens are left…
Cumbersome building plan approval process
August 23, 2026Sir, I had been to Srirampura Town Panchayat Office to obtain an approved building plan. The current process is really cumbersome to applicants, compared to earlier method. Earlier there used to be one agency, Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), where people used to apply with all necessary documents. After paying the fees specified by MUDA,…
Delay in issue of DL by RTO (East) Mysuru
August 22, 2026Sir, My driving licence (DL) was due to expire on Jan. 31, 2026. I applied online for its renewal on Jan. 20, 2026. I paid the prescribed fee at a bank in Jayalakshmipuram and proceeded to the RTO (East) Office to submit the application. As the RTO Office computer took about two to three hours…
Service roads on Hunsur Road
August 21, 2026Sir, In my opinion, the newly constructed service roads on Hunsur Road, namely at Hinkal, Hootagali and Belavadi, are poorly designed and of little utility currently. The main roadway remains a congested 4-lane highway (2 lanes on either side of the centre median). I suggest the two medians on either side, between the edge of…
