Sir, I visited Nanjangud the other day and was shocked to see the roads in such a pathetic condition. Many stretches are unmotorable, with craters and potholes all along the road. The entire stretch beyond the Mysuru city limits lack street-lights and hence driving during dark is very risky. Added to this is the shameless…

Sir, The management of Dasara celebrations drawing crowds, each outnumbering the previous years’, is truly a herculean task. It has been managed efficiently and kudos to all the people involved. But on Vijayadashami Day, passengers of buses were inconvenienced greatly as the buses coming to Mysuru were stopped at Sathagalli bus stand, leaving passengers (locals…

Sir, I travelled by the Shatabdi train on Oct. 6 from Mysuru to Bengaluru. On arrival at Bengaluru Station, I was surprised to see passengers travelling to Chennai trying to board the train even before passengers from Mysuru could disembark.   There was chaos which could have been easily avoided.

Within a day or two the concerned officials swung into action and cleared most of the debris. Keep…

Sir, I feel sorry about the pathetic state of the Ring Road, most part of which lies in pitch darkness while the city roads are glittering with colourful lights, thanks to the Dasara Illumination Sub-Committee. Well, the Ring Road happens to be the entry road to Mysuru from all directions and with much traffic inside…

Sir, The travel by Ambaari bus enjoying  Dasara illumination is definitely a very good experience.  But there are a couple of defects in the bus, which requires  immediate attention: 1.  The first issue is while getting in and getting out  of the bus — the first step to get in and get out of the…

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…
