Sir, In the Abracadabra titled “With Love from Donald Trump to India and Narendra Modi” (SOM dated Feb.8), KBG has very deftly compared Donald Trump’s leadership for America with that of his contemporary Narendra Modi’s leadership for India. Even while the personalities of these two leaders are certainly not comparable, the challenges they face have…

Sir, I believe that America’s 45th President Donald Trump may be taking a page from America’s 42nd President Bill Clinton’s playbook by raising tensions with Iran and Iraq amid his impeachment inquiry. According to The New York Timses, Clinton made a similar move more than two decades ago — launching air strikes in Iraq as…

Sir, Having been a teacher for nearly half-a-century and still training the children to not only face exams cheerfully, but more importantly LIFE (where everyday you face some kind of a test or challenge), I feel duty-bound to address the children again,  to enable them to perform well for which they have been single-minded getting…

Sir, In spite of having CCTV cameras at several junctions in city, including on Sayyaji Rao Road, near Private Bus Stand, there has been a lot of motorists jumping the signal which is unruly behaviour. The way the impatient motorists jump the signal causes anxiety among the rules-abiding motorists. Probably the cameras at this junction…

This initiative of L&T under STEM to train up selected students from classes 7th to 9th std., under different schemes of technologies, deserves to be applauded while hoping that this initiative keeps going for a long time…

Sir, Apropos “UoM restricts entry of private vehicles into Gangothri Campus” (SOM dated Feb.4) is a most welcome move, though belated, to retain and regain the glory of the very name itself “Manasa Gangothri.” Prior to this, vehicle population was equivalent to humans (inhumans) choking all roads and junctions and a drivers track including plying…

Sir, I would like to draw the attention of higher officers of Mysuru Railways towards lack of four-wheeler parking facility on the Northern Gate of city Railway Station (cftri side). This is causing great inconvenience to the people who approach Railway Station from this side by car to see off or receive their loved ones….

Sir, This has been the daily woes of shopkeepers and public who come to the Merchants Bank in Santhepet on Jaganmohan Palace Main Road. Most of the private vehicles are parked there for the entire day causing inconvenience to the general public who come to buy groceries or for shopping or banking purpose. I request…

Sir, Kalidasa Road is one of the busy roads in Mysuru. It has become a commercial hub due to which vehicular traffic has also increased unnaturally. People throng all the way from Mathru Mandali Circle through Kalidasa Road up to Dejagow (Kuvempu Trust) Circle. The problems start at Panchavati Circle. Signal lights have started working…
