MCC property tax payment: A citizen’s woes
April 15, 2021Sir, The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has done it again. Every year its bureaucratic structure takes a toll on poor citizens who struggle in hot sun to pay the property tax.

On PM Modi’s visit to Bangladesh
April 14, 2021Sir, As per the report already published, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Bangladesh is a success, but I feel that more mileage could have been achieved had the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) done more work in giving briefs to the PM about the liberation of Bangladesh, the sacrifices of our Army and all our…
Ban heavy vehicles during office and school timings
April 12, 2021Sir, I have seen heavy vehicles like crane excavators and tippers moving freely on the roads at all times. They are also racing with two-wheelers and four-wheelers.

Pathetic condition of Public Parks
April 9, 2021Sir, Of late I visited many Public Parks and their maintenance is pathetic to say the least. Be it Cheluvamba Park, opposite Akashvani, Kiki Park in Jayalakshmipuram, Curzon Park, Rajkumar Park or Vishnuvardhan Park in front of the Palace or Mirza Park for that matter — they all welcome you with huge pile of garbage. …
Why not a public website for info on MCC expenditure?
April 7, 2021Sir, The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) is on a taxation-spree. The citizens as tax-payers and consumers have the right to know how their hard-earned money is put to use. It is therefore necessary for the MCC to give the details of expenditure on a public website, so that the tax-payers shall not only come to…
Plea to clear debris from cleaned vacant sites
April 6, 2021Sir, The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has now started cleaning vacant sites at all localities. This is most welcome. But the cleared debris is left at a point on the site itself.
