Sir, Headlights, why do we use them? To increase our visibility to other drivers and avoid hazards, it’s important to switch headlights according to the weather and the time of day while being mindful of other drivers. High beam headlights give bright and long-range illumination. Using high beams within the city limits can cause split…
Sir, Our Chief Minister, during his recent visit to Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, popularly known as Mysuru Zoo, showed interest in Night Safari. Already our eco-sensitive Chamundi Hill is going commercial with mass construction activity. Now please don’t commercialise Zoo by treating animals as mere entertainment toys. They are living beings, they too have life….
Sir, This has reference to your recent Editorial tilted, “Thought for Food.” It was indeed very commendable that you referred to Dr. K.T. Achaya. I deem it an honour to have known him and discussed lipid nutrition several times. Dr. Achaya was a gentle giant — gentle as he was soft spoken, giant because of…
Sir, This is in response to the news item titled “MUDA seeks NRN’s help” (SOM dated Aug.9). My morning routine of fetching milk gets me walking down 3rd Cross, V.V. Mohalla, past ‘Kowmudi,’ the very simple yet very beautiful house of Dr. N.R. Narayana Murthy (NRN), but the Avenue itself is very ordinary. It is…
Sir, Some two-wheeler riders/ pillions in Mysuru do not wear helmets and instead they carry them (to avoid being penalised by police, if caught) either on their lap or hold them in one hand while use the other hand to ride in a risky way. On the other hand, we find the Police who are…
Sir, I agree with the views of MRG Murthy (SOM dated Saturday, 12th August) that medians built on a majority of roads are more of a nuisance than a means to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. In case of an emergency situation, manoeuvrability becomes a casualty. I have seen in New York that barricades…
Sir, Roads in East Mysuru at areas including Kalyanagiri Nagar, Sathagalli Layout, Raghavendra Nagar and Azeez Sait Nagar have become an eyesore and a mess for road users. Though the roads were dug up almost a year ago to lay UGD pipes and new water connection lines, they have not yet been re-laid. One must…
Sir, Apropos the news item “City Police evict roadside shops” (SOM dated Aug. 12), roadside shops on Sayyaji Rao Road being cleared by the MCC and the Police is a ‘tamasha.’ Why do the authorities wait until they receive complaints to act? Why are they not proactive? These shops will reappear in just a couple…
Sir, The concern raised by Prof. B.S. Shankara on new two-wheelers moving without number plates in city is highly appreciated (SOM dated Aug. 16). Here, I would like to inform that it is not just new two-wheelers or cars that run sans registration number plates but even many old vehicles are also being used on…
Sir, S.N. Venkatnag Sober’s feature on “Mysuru’s tryst with Freedom Movement: Recalling Mysuru’s role in India’s Freedom Struggle” (Star of Mysore dated Aug. 13) was interesting. I was happy to find the name of my uncle — my father’s elder brother — G.R. Swamy in the write-up. G.R. Swamy aka G. Ramaswamy was a veteran…
