Sir, Kudos to the Transport Department for their initiative to curb  illegal, illegible, flamboyant and fancy registration number plates apropos  “Remove illegal number plates in a week, motorists warned” appearing in Star of Mysore dated Dec.22. It is high time the motorists  wilfully violating the MV Act (Rule 50, 51 of MV Act, 1989) which…

Sir, One can see a couple of fountains springing on Chamaraja Double Road of late. Many dignitaries frequently pass through this road but they don’t seem to have taken note of this. Hence this letter. One can witness this scene between 7 am and 10 am. These fountains erupting from the manholes emanate foul smell…

Sir, I am a resident of Mysuru and have been a regular user of the services of Bus Route No.72. Pathetically, to inconvenience all users, the services of this route has been suspended without any information. School children, women and men in the working class are highly inconvenienced by this sudden development. The route had…

Sir, We are very happy to have a Ring Road in Mysuru though it is not in such a good condition but somewhat okay. As a frequent traveller on Ring Road, I have observed that wastage from Bar & Restaurant is thrown on the side of the Road near Bogadi where we can see heaps…

Sir, The next financial year 2020-21 is coming up shortly. Time and again many tax-payers have expressed the need to make the SAS (Self Assessment System) online but it still seems that MCC is sleeping over this. If they cannot implement this system, let them at least introduce swiping machines too in the MCC Zonal…

His name may sound familiar to the people because of his initials ‘SBM’ which stands not for ‘State Bank of Mysore’ but sentimentally for ‘Siddappa, Bhagyamma (his parents) and Mysuru’ — S.B.M. Manju for…

Sir, It is very often noticed that senior citizens are not allotted lower berths in trains for their journey, in spite of opting for the same at the time of booking their tickets. This is causing great inconvenience to such people, as they find it very difficult to climb the steps to get on to…

Sir, This is yet another plea for improving the frequencies of the city bus route 69C which plies from City Market to Bapuji Layout via Bank Employees Colony, Bogadi, off the Ring Road. Many times, particularly on Sundays, the bus doesn’t enter the Colony at all ! People are fed up with the lack of…

Sir, The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it mandatory that all four-wheel vehicles should carry Fastag, which they say, will help faster clearance of vehicles through the Toll Gates. I think that making it compulsory is absurd. I own a car but I seldom drive out on the Highways. So why should…

Sir, Nowadays malingering (faking hearing ability for financial assistance) cases are more in the Audiology Clinic. All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH), Mysuru, is one of the Nodal Centres to give hearing disability certificate. On an average in a week, 11 of 70 cases (15%) fake their hearing status who seek for hearing…
