Sir, Over the last few days, there have been several suggestions on payment of Property Tax (three suggestions in fact). I agree with two. The one I do not agree with and think it not at all a safe suggestion with the spread of COVID-19 is the one where one reader has recommended that MCC…

Sir, It can be seen through media that still many people are riding doubles on two-wheeler during the current COVID-19 period, which is against the advisory and caution given by City Police to keep social distance even while travelling.  Triple riding, all without helmets, is most common even now in peripheral areas, if not in…

Sir, A huge dustbin is kept on the road behind 5th Main, 8th Cross, Jayanagar, Mysuru. There are many houses on this road and the bin is lying at the same place since a number of years.  When people come and dump all waste materials in the bin, it emanates foul smell and the residents…

Sir, These are difficult times and we need to see that our Governments are able to fulfil its duties towards its citizens. At the same time we also have a duty to facilitate the Government to do so. This requires the Government to have money with it. That means collection of taxes. As a step…

The plea that Government of Karnataka has not approved it as yet is no excuse. This is the ideal time, when there is a lockdown due…

Sir, This is to bring to the notice of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner and the Mysuru Deputy Commissioner, who are leaving no stone unturned to combat the spread of the deadly Coronavirus, that the people who are appointed and in-charge to disinfect all the residential areas are not actually doing it properly.  In…

Sir,                  At a time when cleanliness is of utmost importance, there is a stray horse spotted near our house (No. 905, 4th Main, 28th Cross, Vidyaranyapuram). I too have sympathy towards animals but this horse needs immediate medical assistance. Its skin has multiple rashes and it keeps scratching it. Hope the authorities concerned will do…
