Sir, The property tax revision this year carried out by MCC has been a brutal blow for citizens, adding to Covid-induced financial woes. Although MCC issued a press note mentioning that the increase was in the range of 15%, the increase ranges as high as 50% – 60%, depending on the location of the property,…
Sir, Being a citizen of Mysuru, I feel pained by the decision of authorities concerned to cut down precious trees to make way for new helipads near the iconic Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel for the proposed Heli Tourism Project. During my childhood days, just 15-20 years ago, I remember the streets of Mysuru were shaded…
Sir, We read in newspapers that the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has increased property tax by 15 percent compared to 2020-21. I reside at House No. 688, 12th Main, T.K. Layout. Last year I had paid Rs. 7,679 towards tax. Accordingly, I calculated the rise of tax by 15%. The increase in amount was Rs.1,151…
Sir, 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. I already visited their Zonal Office in Sharadadevinagar. The website it has created for calculation and payment of taxes failed in every step. Every…

Sir, 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. Moreover, most of our roads are very bad and it is very difficult to drive vehicles on the roads along with these heavy vehicles that hinder the movement…
Sir, Mysuru city is trying to retain its name and glory as “Heritage City” and “Cleanest City” but a few are bent upon destroying the beautiful landscape of our city in the name of development. Thanks to the active residents who have strongly objected to the helipad near the Lalitha Mahal Palace Hotel. The Lalitha…
Sir, I would like to share with SOM readers about the wonderful COVID treatment facility at Mysuru District Hospital on KRS road and express my gratitude to the COVID warriors on duty. On 18th March 2021, my nephew aged 45 years, currently living in Bengaluru, was admitted in the night to a Private Hospital for…
Sir, 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. …
Sir, 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…
