Sir, We see, hear and talk a lot about effective garbage collection and environmental-friendly disposal.

Sir, Recently I had an opportunity to travel from Bengaluru airport  to Mysuru in a Flybus. This direct bus facility greatly benefits the passengers who have to travel to Mysuru.

Sir, The Post Office of N.R. Mohalla is not doing any transactions from last few days. The reason given by the Post Master is failure of server. This has put the citizens into a lot of inconvenience. Even in this modern age it is taking such a long time to set things right. We request…
