Sir, I would like to bring it to the attention of the Traffic Police, the brazen disregard and violation of zebra crossing by vehicle-users. One such example we have seen time and again is at the Premier Studio junction. The Traffic Police stand on the SJCE road just about 10 feet away from the signal…
Use swiping machine for property tax
March 21, 2017Sir, From April 2017 onwards, the Zonal offices of MCC will start collecting property tax.

Safety of kids on two-wheelers
March 21, 2017Sir, Apropos the letter titled Check rampant traffic violations by Dr. Vijayendra (SOM dated Mar.18), I have posted my comment on the Police web-page concerning the safety of small children when they are being carried on two-wheelers without any safety belt.

Video shoot of classroom lecture, a novel idea indeed !

Check rampant traffic violations
March 18, 2017Sir, It is not clear how to consider the news of city Traffic Police collecting Rs.7.13 lakh as fine from violators in just three days (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 5), that too only in certain areas of the city. Whether it is efficiency of the Traffic Cops to have rigorous checks or the inability…
