Sir, I am a frequent visitor to Mysuru and I wish to share my experience with autos. The auto meters are tampered beyond imagination. Recently, even for short distance of 5 km, I was forced to pay Rs. 110. Most of these autowallahs use bad languages to get their demanded money, particularly those who cannot…

Sir, The letter by Melkote B. Jayaram titled ‘Check increasing vehicle population’ in som dated Apr. 14 is timely and also the need of the hour. Rich class of the society having spacious bungalows with ample parking space can afford to have their own vehicles (car) including two-wheelers which are commonly used by everyone today…

Sir, Parasayyanahundi, where the Outer Ring Road intersects with H.D. Kote Road, is chaotic to say the least during peak hours.

Motorists have to be extremely careful while manoeuvring this intersection because there are high chances…

Sir, In the last two months, work was undertaken to lay slabs on either side of Vishwamanava Double Road, starting from Kukkarahalli Lake Junction. A borewell was also sunk and later connected, crossing the Double Road to Kukkarahalli side stretch. Now, the footpath in front of Kukkarahalli side is used for parking two-wheelers, cars, water…

Sir, Even though there are a lot of buses from CBS to Hebbal industrial area, it is not beneficial to the commuters at present as the timings are not suitable.

Sir, While I appreciate all the good work done by the authorities in Karanji Lake, there are a few things which I want to bring it to the notice of the authority. Recently I happened to visit the Karanji Lake over the weekend. I had my kids and parents along with me. With my aged…
