Payment of MUDA property tax: Some suggestions
May 3, 2021Sir, I along with my father aged about 82 years went to the MUDA Office for payment of property tax for the year 2021-22.

Convert this bus stand building as Covid Seva Kendra
May 2, 2021Sir, The picture above is that of the city bus stand constructed at Kuvempunagar at a cost of over Rs. 18 crore and most under-utilised as all the floors are empty.

Property tax on open land
April 29, 2021Sir, In this season of property tax collection in our city, ‘Property Tax on Open Land’ has become the novel element.

All such activities provide considerable volume of oxygen into the…

Utter chaos at RT-PCR Testing Centre
April 28, 2021Sir, Utter chaos prevails at a Hospital in Vijayanagar conducting RT-PCR test — right from the counter issuing tokens to the counter issuing test reports. At none of the counters neither social distancing nor wearing of the mask is adhered to. After the token is received, people sit haphazardly in groups. At the swab issuing…
COVID-19 test: No social distance at District Hospital

April 27, 2021Sir, I was pleasantly surprised when our Corporator Dr. G. Roopa formed a WhatsApp group with the residents of Ward No. 53, comprising Alanahalli and parts of Siddarthanagar and Kurubarahalli, as members. Everyday, scores of complaints pour into the group.
