A photo op is not engineering !

August 31, 2026

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, 2026

Sir, 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, 2026

Sir, 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.

Two-wheelers encroach busy Kalidasa Road

August 25, 2026

Sir, 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…

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…

Service roads on Hunsur Road

August 21, 2026

Sir, 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…
