Sir, It has been four years since various agencies began digging up the road from Ring Road, passing through Damden Apartments to RPG, and further up to Automotive Axles, leaving craters along the entire stretch and causing agony for every road user. High GST and property taxpayers endure the torment of driving on this deteriorating…

Sir, First and foremost, I would like to convey my appreciation to the Mandya District Administration for the arrangements made during the recently concluded Vairamudi Utsava at Melukote. Lord Cheluvanarayanaswamy seated majestically with his consorts on Garudalvar transported us to a different world altogether.

Sir, This is the junction conne-cting Sewage Farm Road and DAV Public School in Vidyaranyapuram. Trivial accidents are common here.

Sir, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the recent experiences my spouse and I had to undergo, while traveling to and from Mysuru to Trichur by Airavat night service operated by KSRTC.

Sir, While commuting I observed that a huge concrete median block is slightly shifted to the road near St. Joseph’s School signal opposite KSOU since months. It can cause major accidents if hit by speeding vehicles coming from B.M. Hospital side. Also, the traffic signal near Kalamandira junction is supported by a cement block. Our…
