Sir, Whenever I drive to and fro from Vijayanagar 4th Stage  connecting Outer Ring Road (ORR), I have witnessed a total traffic chaos. The vehicles move on either directions on ORR, speeding past as if it is an Expressway showing least concern to the vehicles entering from 80 feet road to ORR. At times during…

Sir, Bogadi Road from the bridge is an inter-link road connecting city on one side, Vijayanagar and other localities on the other side. A School is also located and hence the road is always busy. After a few accidents, barricades have been erected.  I wrote letters on the need of a Traffic Signal or Traffic…

Sir, There is an increase in the density of vehicles passing through Vishwamanva Double Road junction. The riders/ drivers do not reduce the vehicles speed near this junction.

Sir, Of late, I have been observing that the beggars throng vehicles at almost all the traffic signals.

It is indeed painful to know the apathy of youngsters towards the national cause. This is high time to find out the reason for this apathy. Moreover,…

Sir, I was pained to read the news item titled “Woman killed, four injured as cars collide on Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway”  (SOM dated Feb. 25, 2023). Call our drivers, across board, as callous, indifferent and insensitive. Their irresponsible driving not only accounts for lives of others but also their own selves and their co-passengers. Commonsense not…

Sir, I travel frequently from Bengaluru to Mysuru by train. Almost all trains stop and wait for signal just before entry to Mysuru Station Platform for nearly 15 to 30 minutes although some platforms are empty. As a result passengers will have to climb up and down the staircase with luggage and families (young and…

Sir, We are really happy that our Mysuru city is growing in good speed and has become a great flying destination.
