Sir, Extending Kacheguda-Bengaluru train up to Mysuru is a good relief for passengers who want to commute between Hyderabad and Mysuru, without changing the train at Bengaluru. However, in my recent trip to Hyderabad in Mysuru-Kacheguda ‘Super Fast’ train and back, I have made some observations, which need action from Railways. Several months back this…

Sir, Krishna Vilas Road has been declared as No Hawking Zone by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) a few years back. But of late several eateries have mushroomed on the road especially in and around Khadri Shamanna Circle making it a nightmare to walk, more so in the evenings. The shops occupy the entire stretch…

Sir, The online payment of water bills on the MCC website has often been unsuccessful, as reported earlier in these columns by consumers. Added to this, the water bill payments made at MysoreOne (Karnataka One) Centres also at times have not been posted against our accounts and often reflects as ‘previous dues’ in the subsequent…

Sir, The Ramaswamy Circle is an important alighting point of passengers who come to Mysuru by bus. Every day thousands of passengers get down at this stop to reach various destinations in the city.  However, the autorickshaw service at Ramaswamy Circle is horribly bad.

Sir, This is to bring to the notice of authorities concerned regarding lack of dustbins at Sangam Circle and thereby disposal of house-waste into the open causing it to be eaten by cows and dogs. Although household waste is being taken care of by civic authorities on a regular basis, some of it still find…

Sir, This is my suggestion to the Election Commission of India (ECI) regarding the present voters list, which is very haphazard and defies any logic. I wonder why the lists are not generated door number-wise instead of the present queer manner. It’s easier to search for names. Presently, part of a family’s names appear in…

Sir, This is to complain about the nil or pathetically poor Airtel network at Sankalpmahal Apartment Complex on Lalitha Mahal Road, Siddarthanagar. Repeated complaints to the local staff in this regard has had no impact. To make a call we need to go to the public road to get reasonable network. Most of the residents…

Sir, At present there are no direct bus services from J.P. Nagar to Ramakrishnanagar (R.K. Nagar). One has to first travel from JP Nagar to City Bus Stand (CBS) in one bus and then travel in another bus again from (CBS) to R.K. Nagar. This is proving to be very time-consuming for the many commuters…
