Sir, We drove to the Hilltop to enjoy the city lights yesterday. As there was rush at the binocular View Point, we went down to the second viewing point. While coming down the platform, a senior citizen in our group slipped into the gap between the steps and retaining wall. Only by God’s grace he…
Sir, I would like to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned about the nuisance faced by vehicle-users like me and many others at the traffic signal junction of Outer Ring Road and Hunsur Road. The motorists are constantly bothered by a group of beggars, donation collectors and vendors when we stop for the…
Sir, On Sunday, 17th September, I wanted to go to Bengaluru and boarded a train on Platform Number 5. When it started moving I learnt that it was Mysuru-Talaguppa Express. In a hurry, I got down but my handbag remained in that train. The handbag had two FD receipts valued Rs. 4,75,000. I just informed…

Sir, I am a dog lover with two dogs living with our family inside our house. Dogs do love to have their freedom but there are many reasons why it is best to keep your best friend leashed, even when you don’t have to. Loose dogs, even well-trained ones, may find themselves in the street,…
Sir, The observation of Dr. Javeed Nayeem in his article ‘Keeping our trains safe and slow!’ (Star of Mysore dated Sept.8) that people in the US are proud of the slow moving trains as it is the most enjoyable travelling experience they can boast of, calls for comment. After the end of II World War,…
Sir, Nada Habba Dasara begins this Thursday and the authorities are busy in window dressing festival venues. City roads are in a pathetic condition and no one is bothered except talking about Dasara. Potholes are filled with roadside dust or soil with a sprinkle of tar on the surface which will come back to its…
Sir, The View Points being developed atop Chamundi Hill with High Definition Binoculars, as reported in Star of Mysore dated Sept. 14, is indeed a practical way to promote tourism.
