Sir, I would like to bring to the notice of elected representatives in Mysuru the worst condition of Hebbal Roads. About one year back a huge pipeline was laid in the middle of the road from Vijayanagar water tank to Ring Road passing through Abhishek Circle and MUDA Choultry. Now, even after one year, neither…

Sir,  Can National Education Policy (NEP) revolutionise Education System in India?

Sir, I had written about this problem earlier also. Due to lethargic attitude of the authorities concerned, still the elevator in the Mini Vidhana Soudha (Taluk Office) is not in working condition since more than a year.  Mini Vidhana Soudha is a big and beautiful Government building which mainly houses Taluk Office and Sub-Registrar’s office….

In this regard, I had suggested a scheme in which MCC would formulate a programme of inviting local residents to…

Sir, With reference to payment of property tax, I would like to share my experience at MCC Zonal Office in Sharadadevinagar. On Sept.22, I visited the Office at 10 am with a photocopy of last year’s tax paid receipt. I was rightly directed to a very right staff.  He looked into my receipt, offered a…
