Sir, After auto drivers, now it is the turn of the tempo drivers who have started parking their vehicles in bus bays and blocking the movement of other vehicles. Recently one such incident was recorded in Temple Road, V.V. Mohalla, wherein a tempo driver parked his vehicle in a bus bay at the bus stop…
Sir, We are happy that due to heavy traffic between Mysuru and Nanjangud, the National Highway (NH) has been upgraded from two-lane to four-lane to an extent of 24 kms (NH 212). But the happiness didn’t last long as the work was of very poor quality and unscientific. The new road is full of potholes…
Sir, With the recent conversion of Chamarajanagar-Tirupathi- Chamarajanagar trains (16219 and 16220) from Fast Passenger to Express mode, we expected positive changes in service too, but there is none. Journey time remains the same post-conversion also and the number of halts enroute has’nt reduced either. Added to this, unreserved passengers get into the reserved compartments…

After all, they also…
Sir, Indeed our KSRTC has a very skilled fleet of drivers who have proved their ability to drive along some of the most challenging roads in and out of Karnataka. But as I have noticed and heard from many people, the bus drivers of KSRTC (Suvarna Karnataka Sarige and Airavat) are highly impatient on highways…
Sir, The Higher Education Minister has stated on Thursday (Sept. 28) that the State government was considering closure of KSOU more than four years after cancellation of its recognition by UGC. Every private University in the country thrives. The State and the Centre being governed by different political parties seems to have come in the…
Sir, KSRTC route bus numbers 129 and 135 used to ply through Manasagangothri campus touching the library-stop quite smoothly for decades. This was a great help to PG students and commuters to and fro the University. But for the last two years the said buses have stopped operating through the campus causing inconvenience to staff…
