Sir, Every Year-of-the-Olympics, the same questions are posed across the world by people of Indian origin. Why is India, a country of 1.2 billion, so bad at the Olympics? …And, when Fiji, a country of less than a million, with a majority of Indo-Fijians can win a gold at the Olympics ! With the above…

Sir, It is almost over one-and-a-half months since the street-lights near Surya Needs in BEML Layout of Rajarajeshwarinagar, Bogadi II Stage, have become defunct. As a result, women and senior citizens are facing a lot of problems to move on this road. Several requests made to replace the burnt bulbs have not yielded any results…

Sir, While proceeding from Bogadi towards Gaddige, near the temple, right in the middle of Bogadi-Gaddige Road, there is a barrier placed on the manhole (the source of problem) which is not in level with the road.

But unfortunately in many of these roads,  the central median extends beyond the zebra crossing at the traffic signal points, causing inconvenience to the pedestrians (see pic).  The height of the median is generally about nine to ten inches and it may be…

Sir, I had to visit the MCC Zone-4 office last week because of the pandemic shut down as well as not succeeding in paying the tax online. Fortunately, there was not much rush and the officials concerned were very courteous. I got the form printed in a few minutes. As a safeguard, I had taken…
