Sir, There is a big Rajakaluve – Rain water drain running in Dattagalli crossing the Ring Road. This Rajakaluve is filled with drainage water and silt, emanating foul smell in the entire area and thereby causing health hazard to the residents. I appeal to the authorities concerned to clear the Rajakaluve by repairing the UGD…

Sir, Recently Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) made a public notification for awarding a reasonable compensation to the road accident victims, if the cause for such accidents are on account of potholes or poor condition of the roads and footpaths. This is definitely a pro-public amendment by BBMP. Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) authorities can also…

Sir, This is with reference to the letter on Pensioners’ Life Certificate (SOM dated Dec.8). My experience in this regard has been much more harrowing. On my visit to the concerned Bank Branch, the official declined to accept my filled in prescribed form and asked me to approach the Post Office or Common Service Centre…

Sir, I was nonplussed to read that Mysuru was gearing up for seven-star rating in garbage-free city category under the next Swachh Survekshan (Star of Mysore dated Dec.5). My city, no doubt, is clean compared to many other cities in our country, but a lot more hard work and scrubbing is awaiting to graduate to…

Sir, The areas in and around Vijayanagar Water Tank are in complete shambles. Roads are ripped off for more than a year now. The Park stretch between Vidyavardhaka Engineering College and temporary food street is in a neglected condition with overgrown shrubs and the place used as open urinals. By-lanes near the area are make-shift…

Sir, Now almost all commercial establishments welcome their customers with a hand sanitiser  — either pedal-operated or hand-pressed.  In some establishments it is seen that the pedal-operated  sanitiser  will have the sanitiser  container fixed to the frame of the machine, which is correct and safe.  But in some places the sanitiser container is not fixed…

Sir, It is annoying to note innumerable times that Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC), Mysuru Division, is resorting to frequent power shutdown with just one day prior press notice in newspapers and through SMS to consumer’s mobile phone for emergency maintenance works. This is causing inconvenience for domestic and small and medium industries in and…

Sir, Today I went to the Chamaraja Mohalla Branch of Canara Bank for submitting the form to give my Life Certificate. It was a harrowing experience for me which took more than half-an-hour wait to get it accepted. I could also sympathise with the poor lady who was struggling, referring to her mobile and the…
