Sir, The next financial year 2020-21 is coming up shortly. Time and again many tax-payers have expressed the need to make the SAS (Self Assessment System) online but it still seems that MCC is sleeping over this. If they cannot implement this system, let them at least introduce swiping machines too in the MCC Zonal…
A people-friendly, prompt Corporator
December 19, 2019Sir, This refers to a sincere, simple, straightforward and a no-nonsense Corporator of Gokulam 3rd Stage and surrounding areas (Ward No.6). His name may sound familiar to the people because of his initials ‘SBM’ which stands not for ‘State Bank of Mysore’ but sentimentally for ‘Siddappa, Bhagyamma (his parents) and Mysuru’ — S.B.M. Manju for…
Allot lower berths in trains to all senior citizens
December 18, 2019Sir, It is very often noticed that senior citizens are not allotted lower berths in trains for their journey, in spite of opting for the same at the time of booking their tickets. This is causing great inconvenience to such people, as they find it very difficult to climb the steps to get on to…
Plea to KSRTC: Ply city buses via Bogadi Bank Employees Colony
December 17, 2019Sir, This is yet another plea for improving the frequencies of the city bus route 69C which plies from City Market to Bapuji Layout via Bank Employees Colony, Bogadi, off the Ring Road. Many times, particularly on Sundays, the bus doesn’t enter the Colony at all ! People are fed up with the lack of…
Fastag must not be mandatory for all vehicles
December 16, 2019Sir, The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it mandatory that all four-wheel vehicles should carry Fastag, which they say, will help faster clearance of vehicles through the Toll Gates. I think that making it compulsory is absurd. I own a car but I seldom drive out on the Highways. So why should…
Malingers: Do not fake your hearing ability just for financial aid
December 15, 2019Sir, Nowadays malingering (faking hearing ability for financial assistance) cases are more in the Audiology Clinic. All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Mysuru, is one of the Nodal Centres to give hearing disability certificate. On an average in a week, 11 of 70 cases (15%) fake their hearing status who seek for hearing…
Catching helmetless riders: Cops must change modus operandi
December 14, 2019Sir, Come month ends, Police personnel would be busy stationing themselves at main roads, cross road corners all over the city to catch the helmetless riders, to collect penalty. While the helmetless riders are to be penalised, the modus operandi of the traffic cops needs to be changed to avoid accidents that would happen because…
Stop dumping waste on Main Roads
December 13, 2019Sir, Waste materials and garbage are thrown carelessly on main/cross roads and other places affecting both humans and animals. We would like to draw everyone’s attention to what is happening in Devanur, now Rajivnagar 3rd Stage near Narayana Hospital. Waste items are dumped daily on the roads and set ablaze. The toxic and foul smell…
Remembering Prof. C.D. Narasimhaiah
December 12, 2019Is Prof. CDN in Town? Australian High Commissioner !! Sir, The article titled CDN’s Dhvanyaloka is 40 (Star of Mysore dated Dec. 7) carried my memory back to over 40 years with the above query which is still registered in my mind. The then Australian High Commissioner in India was on a visit to Mysore…
Prompt action by civic authorities
December 11, 2019Sir, During my regular morning walk, I noticed the carcass of a cat lying in Chinmayi Park, Manujapatha Road, Kuvempunagar, on Dec.7. I telephonically requested the Mysuru City Corporation to get the cat’s body removed as foul smell was emanating from it and dogs were feeding on the same. I got a prompt message on…
