Sir, Our beloved leader Vasu has departed from us. When I last saw him recently, I was struck speechless by his condition. I couldn’t help but wonder if this would be our final encounter, though I resisted entertaining such forebodings. Yet, can we escape fate? He was truly a leader of the people — accessible…

Sir, The daily burning of toxic waste, particularly at night around 10 pm, on High Tension Double Road (near Vijayanagar Water Tank) is significantly impacting the health of the residents in the area. We request the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) authorities concerned to investigate this matter promptly and take necessary action to stop this hazardous…

Sir, This is to draw the attention of authorities regarding certain restaurants and hotels in our beautiful city that offer outdoor seating arrangements. While the ambiance of these spaces, particularly in the evenings, is delightful, accessing them often entails navigating a flight of stairs, some of which may be steep and potentially hazardous for elderly…

Sir, This is about my letter titled “Dangerous and unscientific road hump in Old Kesare” (SOM dated Aug. 26, 2023).

Hopefully, this Authority will play a crucial role in safeguarding and preserving the sanctity of Chamundi Hill, protecting it from encroachment, misuse and mismanagement. I…

Sir, We encountered a concerning issue during our recent journey from Coimbatore to Mysuru via Nanjangud. It was only 7.30 pm, yet the road divider was barely visible due to the darkness and the blinding glare of high beam lights from vehicles on the opposite side. This lack of visibility seriously threatens the safety of…

Sir, This is to highlight the recurring issue of frequent power cuts in our locality encompassing Devalapura, Chikkegowdana Hundi and surrounding villages. Over the past month and a half, there has been a consistent disruption in power supply. Initially, we presumed these interruptions might be due to maintenance. However, the problem persists. Notably, these power…
