Sir, There has been a noticeable decline in the growth of the Mysuru Airport over the past few months, which is a concerning trend for a city like Mysuru, known for its significance in tourism. This downturn can be attributed to the cancellation and reduction of flights. Notably, flights to destinations like Mangaluru, Goa and…
Police must not discontinue faulty number plate drive
October 9, 2023Sir, I commend our City Traffic Police for initiating action on penalising the faulty number plates, albeit somewhat belatedly. There are numerous motorists who deliberately flout the regulations concerning proper display of registration number plates, often with dubious intentions. It is essential that these violators are apprehended. My hope is that the traffic authorities will…
Kudos to Police for crackdown on faulty number plates
October 8, 2023Sir, Kudos to the Mysuru City Police for their recent crackdown on vehicles with faulty number plates, as reported in SOM dated Oct. 4. This move is wholeheartedly appreciated by law-abiding citizens. One can observe a myriad of blatant violations when it comes to the legibility and standards of fonts, sizes and shapes on number…
No rear number plates on many motorcycles
October 7, 2023Sir, I have noticed a concerning trend where many young individuals riding motorcycles do not have rear number plates on their bikes. Often, they ride with two pillion passengers on the back and speed at high velocities. Even the Police seem to face challenges in addressing this issue. These riders are often aware of where…
Bring back the amber lights at traffic signals
October 6, 2023Sir, For some reason the Traffic Police have done away with the amber lights and most traffic signals are just operating the red and green signals now. This means a sudden transition from green to red, which invariably catches many motorists midway through the traffic junction, after the lights turn red, for no fault of…
Park near Kalamandira: Not a good idea
October 5, 2023Sir, It is shocking to know that a new Park has come up near Kalamandira junction on Mysuru-Hunsur Highway. Parks are meant for people to relax themselves for a while, particularly in the evenings, breathing fresh air and enjoying virtually a noise-free environment. But, this new Park does not meet the above requirement. The site…
Debris disposal and management: Suggestions
October 4, 2023Sir, There seems to be no system in place for proper disposal and management of debris in Mysuru city. Many people including the Corporators and MCC officials do not seem to be aware regarding proper disposal of debris and other waste materials. My suggestion is as follows: 1. A Helpline should be available 24 x…
Electric pole on the road!
October 3, 2023Sir, This is to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned that an electric pole has been erected in the middle of the road on 3rd Main, near 5th Cross, in Vijayanagar 1st Stage. It poses danger for motorists especially in the night. Already there have been a few head-on collisions at night. We…
All pervasive encroachments
October 2, 2023Sir, It is common knowledge that many commercial establishments make use of the footpaths in front of their shops for various purposes including parking of vehicles. Each such instance has to be highlighted separately so that the focus of the encroachment is not lost. One such commercial establishment is located on the Guest House road…
Unjust denial of access to Maharaja Mantap at Lingambudhi Lake
October 1, 2023Sir, I hasten (because of fast approaching Dasara) to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned the unjust denial of access to the Maharaja Mantap of 1828 AD construction located on the tank bund road of Lingambudhi Lake. This lake is attracting thousands of visitors daily for morning and evening walk as well as…
