Sir, Apropos the news item “Mysuru-Sindhudurg flight serves no purpose: Stakeholders” (SOM dated Jan. 31, 2023) is one hundred percent true. Profitable services in demand were shelved and unviable services like this are being planned  without any justification.

The motorists, especially four-wheelers, ply in opposite directions at a reckless speed overtaking other relatively slow moving vehicles. This may prove fatal if the driver of vehicles coming from…

Sir, The Anniversary Special Issue of ‘Star of Mysore’  is eagerly looked forward to by the readers, who would be wondering what new topic of interest will it contain to savour it at leisure in its 46th year issue (SOM dated Feb. 16, 2023).
