Sir, As a regular user of Lingambudhi Park over several years, I have seen many incidents of misuse of this public park and its surroundings by irresponsible visitors as also many contract workers of the Forest Department. Because of several sandalwood trees in this vast park, many attempts have been made to cut the trees…

Sir, The images above are of the Leadenhall Market situated in the Central district of London. This structure was built in 14th century as a meat market and the original design was very similar to Devaraja Market of Mysuru.

Sir, I would like to bring to the notice of authorities concerned the bad condition of High Tension Double Road connecting Contour Road in Gokulam on one side and Ring Road on the other. It is a very busy road with an Engineering College and shopping area. It is also used by motorists going to…
