Sir, Of late, Mysuru City Traffic Police are earning a substantial amount as fines collected from traffic rule violators. As long as we have irresponsible parents and disobedient children, Traffic Police will have their coffers filled with money collected as fines. And probably with so many “operations” by the Traffic Police, the income from the…

Sir, I have been travelling in Train No. 16022 Kaveri Express from Mysuru Jn. every Sunday night since eight years now. This train is also preferred by many tourists and IT employees commuting during weekends. I have noticed that from the past few months this train is starting from 6th Platform rather than the 1st…

Sir, This has reference to the news report “In-house Conservation Laboratory at Mysore Palace” (Star of Mysore dated Jan. 23).  While the idea of setting up an in-house Conservation Laboratory for the care and preservation of the many works of art in the Mysore Palace is laudable, the statement made to the press at the…

After the completion of work, the road was opened for public, but the present road condition is very bad as the stretch is full of potholes. On Jan. 14 evening, a…

Sir, I travel quite often between Mysuru and Bengaluru by train. After completion of double track works, we see that there are a good number of trains running between these two cities. Let us thank the Railways for that. Now, I want to bring it to the notice of the Railway authorities about a problem…

Sir, Wearing the helmet has become a useless charade as in majority of cases, just to hoodwink the Police, the two-wheel drivers wear all sorts of helmets that is useless to give protection, in  case of accidents.
