Sir, Kudos to the authorities concerned of Mysuru City Railway Station for mitigating the woes  faced by the passengers as well as others who pick up and drop the passengers at Mysuru Railway Station by re-routing the exit point. Whenever a train arrives at the platform, utter chaos is created at the entrance of the…

Sir, With reference to a recent letter in this column, I would like to re-emphasise the need for a one-minute stoppage of all Bengaluru-bound trains from Mysuru, maybe except Shatabdi Express at the Jnanabharathi Halt Station. Jnanabharathi Metro Station is the closest station to Jnanabharathi Halt Station. People can reach their destination fast, saving time…

Sir, Earth Day was celebrated on April  22 and it is important to remember that Mysuru has some of the best ecological hotspots on the earth. Not many are aware that right in the middle of the city, the Kukkarahalli Lake is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. This has been well-documented…

Sir, Of late it is observed that the concerned staff are not opening the doors of last three compartments of Shatabdi Express which leaves to Chennai from Mysuru. The passengers have to help themselves to open the doors of these compartments. Probably the concerned staff becomes lethargic after opening the doors of other compartments and…

Sir, The 1.5 kms stretch that connects to NJ Hospital in Yelwal (State Highway 88 that connects Bantwal from Mysuru) is in a very bad shape (filled with potholes).

Traffic Police in checking the two-wheelers for wheeling, zig-zag, shrill horns and four-wheelers ridden/driven by youngsters on Chamundi Hill road is definitely a good drive.  I am a regular visitor…

Sir, The roads in Bannimantap and also in many other areas of the city are in a pathetic condition as they have not been repaired from time to time. I request the authorities concerned to get the repair work done as the citizens are having a tough time in using these roads which have gone…

Sir, Following a letter published in this column and in other local papers, the Forest Department authorities took the trouble to clean up the Lingambudhi Lake recently. The regular walkers heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that they could once again continue to walk in one of the best parts of the lake…

Sir, In our country, 70 to 80 percent of the population is dependent on agriculture, living away from towns and cities using agricultural residues and the wood from the adjoining Government forests for cooking. The Government had permitted the villagers to bring dry, fallen and dead wood on headloads, free of cost for bonafide use…

Sir, This refers to the news item titled “Apathy mars Mysuru’s Royal Circles” (Star of Mysore dated May 10). It is highly regrettable to note that heritage Circles are uncared for and neglected.  And they will lose their values if the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) continues this apathetic attitude. It is the duty of MCC…
