Sir, Years back the Revenue Department introduced Urban Property Ownership Record (UPOR) in Mysuru to provide a Property Register (PR) card for every property owner. Now when we collect the payment challan of taxes from MCC, we find a new number allotted called PID (Property Identification Number). But both these numbers are different. Soon, MUDA…

Sir, The property tax collection by MCC has not been planned properly and there is no coordination between the Corporation and the bankers who receive the amounts at the counters.  By avoiding online acceptance for one more year with lame excuses of COVID-19, the MCC continues to inconvenience the tax-payers by making them wait for…

Sir, I had written in this column on May 9, 2020 regarding MCC property tax collection. While the MCC has introduced a scheme for generating SAS forms, it lacks in implementation.

Sir,  The stipulation that wearing of masks is compulsory is not at all being followed in the city. One has to only take a short drive outside to observe this. You will see auto drivers chatting in a group, at the auto stands, with most of them not wearing masks. Newspaper vendors do not wear…

Sir, Apropos the article “Kodagu flood victims fuss over shoddy rehab house works” (SOM dated May 21), the flood victims are already devastated by the loss of house, property and means of livelihood. Many have been rendered homeless.  To add insult to injury, the houses that have been built for them are as good/bad as…

Sir, This has references to the report in ‘SOM’ dated May 19 about the SSLC exams beginning from June 25.  I have been following very closely the incalculable  damage caused by COVID to the examination system (SSLC & PUE Boards and other competitive exams) driving the administration and the students crazy as to how will…
