Sir, Apropos KBG’s Abracadabra titled the Winter of Flu and Fever (SOM dated Dec. 29), I wish to clarify to the common man that Influenza, a disease caused by a virus, is not treated with Penicillin, an antibacterial agent. The discovery of Penicillin marked the antibiotic era but in present day clinical practice we are…
Mysuru Winter Festival: Some suggestions
January 2, 2018Sir, During the last few days, we have experienced a festive look during the Mysuru Winter Festival-2017. Certainly, it has attracted the tourists and the local public to participate and enjoy various events during the period. The Open Street Festival held on D. Devaraja Urs Road no doubt attracted large crowd, especially youth. Compliments to…
Mysuru Winter Festival: Some suggestions
January 2, 2018Sir, First, I would like to congratulate the organisers of Mysuru Winter Festival for the grand success of all the events including the Open Street Festival on Devaraja Urs Road. This event can be done regularly but not at the cost of the loss of business. My suggestion is that this Open Street event be…
Mysuru Winter Festival: Some suggestions
January 2, 2018Sir, Whoever is responsible for holding the Open Street Festival in the heart of the city is to be blamed. The people living in and around Urs Road were virtually under house arrest, what with vehicles parked anywhere and everywhere. All roads and bylanes were blocked. This was a punishment for people living around this…
Question of immunity for IB Officials will remain a Question
January 1, 2018Sir, This is with reference to KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Abuse of Law against our own meek people and Intelligence Agencies — Tale of two typical cases” (SOM dated Dec. 26). I want to write here the truth about the IB’s very existential status. The national security and security apparatus (Intelligence Agencies, IB) exists only in…
No car parking facility at Rly. Station on CFTRI side
December 31, 2017Sir, Railway Station is a public place and providing parking facility for the commuters is the responsibility of the Railway authorities. Unfortunately, there is no provision for car parking at Railway Station second gate (CFTRI side). They claim that the parking contract has been given to the highest bidder. Will the Railways check with the…
Ease traffic congestion on Bogadi Road
December 31, 2017Sir, Time and again I wrote about the traffic congestion on the Bogadi Road (down Harsha Bar) towards the four-lane crossing which serves as a link road to colleges, schools and offices. Day by day the traffic seems to be heavy with office buses, school buses, two-wheelers and four-wheelers plying recklessly. There is no proper…
Provide Halt Station at JP Nagar last stop
December 30, 2017Sir, The present Mysuru – Chamarajanagar Railway Track passes very next to JP Nagar and JP Nagar last bus stop where the facility of city buses to Southern part of Mysuru, especially JP Nagar, Vishweshwaranagar, Vidyaranyapuram and Nanjumalige, is very good. But the nearest Halt Station at Ashokapuram doesn’t have any city bus connectivity nor…
Aadhaar linking: Clarification sought
December 29, 2017Sir, As per Central Government orders, all Telecommunication companies including BSNL are insisting that the users must link Aadhaar number with their mobile number. As a user of a BSNL SIM, I went to the BSNL office to link my Aadhaar number. To my dismay, the system there did not accept my fingerprint. This may…
Dumping of construction wastes
December 28, 2017Sir, The building construction wastes are being dumped near the Park or roadside in M-Block, Kuvempunagar and almost every area of Mysuru. Mysuru City Corporation has got all the authority to penalise those persons who are (constructing houses) dumping wastes near the public park or roadside which is causing health hazard. Hope the MCC will…
