High-power headlights put motorists at risk

May 4, 2024

Sir, Despite the diligent efforts by Mysuru City Traffic Police to instil discipline among motorists, our roads continue to be plagued with unruly behaviour, by compulsive traffic rules violators. It is observed that many two-wheeler and four-wheeler drivers are equipping their vehicles with high-power “halogen” headlights. These headlights, often of dubious quality and Chinese origin,…

Incomplete bus stop needs urgent attention

April 28, 2024

Sir, Earlier, a bus shelter was constructed on the service road of the Ring Road near KEB (now named Balagangadharanatha Swami Circle, although not by any legal body). However, it didn’t serve any purpose since no city bus was plying on that road. Subsequently, the authorities, likely acknowledging their error, began constructing another bus shelter…
