Sir, It pains me reading about extreme callous attitude of our brethren who ruthlessly dump garbage in public and private lands too, unmindful of the consequential hazard on the environment in the already rotten situation owing to the pandemic. It shows lack of basic civic sense on their part. A few pictures that recently appeared…

Sir, This is to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned regarding the half-done road work in Yadavagiri. It has been one month now and still it is incomplete. The exact location is at 2nd Main, 8th ‘A’ Cross, Yadavagiri near Gujarati Samaj. On behalf of the residents, I request the authorities to expedite…

Sir, We all know that computerisation was started in Government administration at least a decade ago or even before. Things like registration of documents, land holdings information (RTC), Court proceedings, RTO Office (though not fully), KSRTC bookings etc., have been computerised to some extent. But one Department of the Government, that is, Taluk Office (Mini…

Sir, I came across a dangerous path in Gandhi Square recently where the High Tension electric pole was installed on the middle of the footpath! Aren’t the footpath meant for the pedestrians to walk safely in city? If you see the picture, there is hardly 5 ft footpath and exactly in the middle there is…

Sir, The Covid-19 cases have been increasing by the day in Karnataka with the Government in a quandary. What is more disconcerting is the increase in the number of fatalities. However, the people should also follow the guidelines and norms prescribed by the authorities and show discipline, something that has been lacking all round. Here…

Sir, The Coronavirus cases are shooting up as people are roaming around, ignoring the lockdown regulations across the State. In this process they are spreading the virus from one to another, which is increasing by thousands every day. The whole world is reeling under economic crisis, every country is spending billions on fighting Covid-19. India…

Sir, I often read the views of readers in Star of Mysore posting pictures and comments on the poor job done by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) in spending tax-payers money in improving the life of the citizens and in maintaining infrastructure. The picture above is just one of the many poor state of the road…

Sir, Apropos your Nostalgically Speaking-1 item on 19.7.2020 about your brother Dr. Subbaiah. Dr. K.B. Subbaiah was the doctor I used to visit at Mission Hospital for a few years.
