Sir, Recently my friend’s father who is new to Mysuru was presumed to be missing, during his morning walk. Apart from his mother tongue, which is not Kannada, he is not conversant with any other language and was not carrying his mobile phone also. After a panic search for more than an hour, he was…

Sir, I recently visited RTO Mysore West to get my driving licence (DL) renewal done. I went there after initiating the application online, as prescribed by the current process. The online process allows us to initiate the application and also upload photograph and signature (that appears on the DL), with only the steps of paying…

Sir, In between MUDA and Ramaswamy Circle, Ramavilas Road connects Jhansi Laxmibai Road. This is a one-way which is frequently used by all law-abiding motorists. Since Ramavilas Road is one-way and Chamaraja stretch (100 ft.) is a Double Road, entry is prohibited from East to West on both roads. This junction is upslope making the…

Sir, Every time during my morning walks with Prof. B. Sheik Ali, I walk on the footpath separated by steel fence adjacent to the University of Mysore Guest House and I see a lot of construction materials lying on the lawn. Since it has been lying in this state for many years, grass and other…

Sir, This is with reference to the letter by Chandrahas titled “Operation Wheel-Lock: Increase fine amount” (Star of Mysore dated June 15). I wish to draw your attention to my earlier letter dated Apr.29, 2019 on this matter. On the issue of increasing the fine amount, if am right, it has to be done through…

Sir, The recent letter on ‘Operation Wheel-Lock’ appears to be most important and useful suggestion considering the ‘devil may care attitude’ of the motorists with least concern for other road-users. Similarly, three people riding on two-wheelers has become the privilege and order of the day and it is hell for other road-users when these vehicles…

Sir, I felt very happy to learn that M.R. Siri of  Marimallappa School climbed a step higher, after revaluation of her papers in English, Maths and Hindi (SOM dated June 12). I would like to congratulate Siri and her parents Raghunath and Sindhu, both teachers, on their combined success. Getting cent percent marks in Maths…

Sir, Two years back (23.7.2017) I had written an article in SOM to introduce circular bus routes like it is implemented in Bengaluru. Unfortunately our elected representatives are so busy that they cannot take any initiative. Mysuru City public transpor-tation is in a pathetic state as the Transport authorities including the KSRTC are not on…

Sir, The biggest problem that the world is now facing is the environmental issue. This has resulted due to blind industrialisation (that is, building huge factories which emit thick black carbon fumes, open cast mining and building concrete jungles both by destroying thick forests, emitting automobile fumes, etc.) over the last 100 years or so….

Sir, Apropos the news item “Operation Wheel Lock” by K.R. Traffic Police (Star of Mysore dated June 10), I feel that the fine of  Rs.100 is too paltry.  The fine of Rs.100 will not compensate the amount of inconvenience caused by the motorists by parking at “No Parking” zones and other areas causing hindrance for…
