Sir, It’s a very exciting day for the people of Shivamogga as the new Shivamogga-Yesvantpur Jn Jan Shatabdi Express chugged off recently, a low cost, speedy and luxury boon for the people. I would like to request the Railways to provide the same speedy service between Bengaluru and Mysuru, by either extending this new train…

Sir, An education fair in today’s evolution of digital media and extensive use of social media may sound old-fashioned and might be considered a waste of time, energy and money. Fortunately or unfortunately, it is not true. Having organised one of Mysuru’s Edu Fair back in 2011 at the prestigious Dasara Exhibition Grounds, I have…

Sir, Dogs are considered as man’s best companion and a loyal friend. But we find discrimination here too. Dogs that are considered pedigree are taken home and taken care of while other dogs are considered strays and left to fend for themselves on the street.

I looked at the notice board which had displayed the requirements to be fulfilled for registration. The cost of the application form was Rs.5. I tried to buy it but was not available….

Sir, Apropos the news item “Devaraja Market, Lansdowne Building to be razed” (SOM dated Jan.30), this is definitely a good news for tenants of both these buildings. There are many families who are directly or indirectly depended for their livelihood with the income generated by working in these two buildings. It is sheer foolishness on…

Sir, I wish to share my experience on the state of bus shelters, after going through the article “Shelters miss the bus” (SOM dated Jan. 19) and the letter “Build clean shelters that will last long” (SOM dated Jan.29). There is a bus shelter near Geetha School, Siddarthanagar. The shelter does not have paved floor…

Sir, Road safety is grossly being ignored by citizens of the city. Carrying big objects on two-wheelers is not advisable in terms of their safety and other road users’ safety. Still people are carrying big plants, wooden logs, fibre doors, etc., on two-wheelers by placing it across the vehicle. Recently it has been seen that…
