Narrow Railway underbridge: Motorists face problems
August 3, 2026Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the problems faced by commuters due to the narrow Railway underbridge at K.G. Koppal. The underbridge is too narrow to accommodate the increasing volume of vehicles using this route every day. During peak hours, cars, buses, two-wheelers and autorickshaws struggle to pass through…

Pavements paved at breakneck speed!
August 1, 2026Sir, Pathway for us, the usual walkers on Paramahamsa Road, Yadavagiri, is at last getting ready, thanks to our PM’s visit to Sri Ramakrishna Vidyashala.

Replace stone balustrades with durable pillars
July 30, 2026Sir, Spending lakhs of rupees, the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) beautified the Raja Marga and its surroundings near the Mysore Palace by installing elegant stone balustrades.

Especially PU college students who are under 18 and do not possess a driving licence. Most students studying in PU colleges bring two-wheelers to the colleges, but the college managements do not allow them to park their…

July 28, 2026Sir, Over the past several months, I have noticed an alarming increase in the number of two-wheeler riders operating their motorcycles or scooters while holding a mobile phone in one hand and controlling the vehicle with the other.

Plants aplenty on side walls of flyover slabs!
July 27, 2026Sir, One can observe plants growing in the gaps between the wall slabs laid on the Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway. Large quantities of soil are poured to construct such elevated roads to bypass other roads, railway tracks, villages, etc. One can say that the roots of trees hold the soil and control soil erosion. But will it…
