August 9, 2018

Sir, The glaring spelling mistakes  appearing on the road sign board installed by the Mysuru City Corporation, opposite Kodava Samaja in Vijayanagar, is an insult to a great soldier like General K.S.

August 8, 2018

Sir, I was shell-shocked reading the news item titled ‘Elderly city lady sedated, robbed in train’ (SOM dated Aug. 3). If this be the fate of a learned and bold citizen, can’t imagine the plight of a common man. I knew Dr. Manik Bengeri as SOM columnist and through my brother who is her family…
