This extension has brought relief to many passengers between Mysuru – Belagavi and vice-versa through a direct train connectivity. The operational run of Vishwamanava Express between…

Sir, This is to bring to the notice of the concerned, regarding very poorly maintained footpath on both sides across the very recently laid tar road leading from Srirampura Preeti Layout junction to Outer Ring Road, touching RT Nagar. This road is across the Lingambudhi Lake, where we can see many migrant birds in the…

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.

This is really a good news and will certainly reduce the burden on the already overburdened surface transport…

Sir, The recent move by the KSRTC to discontinue with the practise of supplying drinking water bottles to passengers of AC buses is welcome. The move comes at a time when the entire nation has pledged for a plastic-free country and such a positive step by KSRTC towards environment is highly appreciated. It is given…

Sir, It is shocking to see the deplorable condition of KRS Road.  Some stretch of the road  is bad and some stretch very bad. I am unable to fathom the irresponsible and lethargic attitude of the engineers and the officers concerned in letting one of the most travelled road of Mysuru like this, especially during…

Sir, Swami Vivekananda’s famous lesson for life “face the terrible, face it boldly” comes to my mind  while reading the well-written letter and the Editor’s Note in Star of Mysore dated Oct.17. Quoting Swamiji’s experience in Varanasi, when being chased by monkeys, it seemed impossible to escape, when a stranger called out to Swamiji, “face…
