Sir, I am a frequent traveller between Mysuru and Mumbai. Of late I have seen a lot more people travelling between the two cities. There is no direct flight also from Mysuru to Mumbai which is making it more difficult to get reservations in the current Mysuru-Dadar Weekly Sharavathi Express (Train No. 11036). I request…

Sir, The Balakrishna Rao Road  near Ashoka  Circle (popularly known as Ballal Circle)  leading to K.G. Koppal is in dilapidated condition and not been repaired for a very long time.

Sir, Mysuru is celebrating Dasara and most of the city roads are being improved by filling of potholes and with patch works but ironically at the CFTRI Layout, where most of the retired scientists from CFTRI are residing, the road is dug up to lay UGD pipes. The work started about a fortnight ago and…
