Sir, In his article Do we need such a festive Dasara? (Star of Mysore dated Oct.9), Dr. Javeed Nayeem has raised an important question. When Covid-19 is raging albeit with certain curtailment of the crowd, the danger of control of the crowd is still a real problem. Instead, it is suggested that could not Dasara…

Sir, The Covid-19 pandemic is burgeoning  across the country without any respite so also the rate of testing. Leading Pharmaceutical Companies are moving at a breakneck speed for the elusive vaccine which in all likelihood might be ready by early 2021.

Sir, Apropos “City remembers Mahatma” (SOM dated Oct. 2), it is really sad to note that the city has completely forgotten late Lal Bahadur Shastri, the finest Prime Minister India has ever had, whose birth anniversary also falls on 2nd October !  While extensive news coverage is given to various events to mark Gandhiji’s birth…

Sir, Devaraj Urs Road exemplifies the troubles of free parking just perfectly. Considering that it is among the busiest commercial avenues in city, it is not hard to infer why the demand for a parking space on the street is so high. Regardless of whether it be a weekday or a weekend, finding a vacant…

Sir, During my recent visit to shops on Sayyaji Rao Road, I came across missing tiles on the footpath at various places.  I wonder how the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has been so careless and not fixed this for days! This can be extremely dangerous for walking public, especially after dark. Hopefully, the MCC authorities…

Sir, Of late many of the two-wheelers and four-wheelers, especially the vehicles driven by the youngsters have additional stroboscopic lights of Chinese make.  The flickering effect of these lights causes disturbance and even cause physiological effects such as headaches, to other road users.
