Sir, This letter is in support of the issues raised by Dr. M.N. Manjunath (SOM dated 20.2.2017). The authorities associated with the mysterious disappearance of bus shelters in front of Kamakshi Hospital and Sigma Hospital owe an explanation to the bus-travelling public they have put to inconvenience. A few months ago, the ITS enabled shelter…
This road needs attention
April 2, 2017Sir, The approaching road to Roopanagar on Bogadi main road through SBM Employees Layout is in a very bad condition and requires immediate repairs. The road has not been repaired for the last 3-4 years. With full of potholes, the residents of SBM Layout and Roopanagar find it very difficult to drive on this stretch…
Stop using mobile phone while driving
April 1, 2017Sir, Using mobile phone while driving is more dangerous than not wearing seat belt, as the former may cause harm to other road users, while the latter may hurt self. Use of mobile phone while driving has become a routine feature by riders of either two-wheelers or four-wheelers in the city. Though this is brought…
Video-shooting in classrooms, a boon to teachers and students
March 31, 2017Sir, Apropos the letter titled “Video-shoot of classroom lecture, a novel idea indeed” by T.S. Narayana Rao (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 18), I am also of the opinion that it is a very good proposal from the point of view of teachers and also from the students’ perspective. Of course, what Dr S. Dandapani…
Gagging the Press: Time to show people’s power
March 30, 2017Sir, I was shocked to read KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Audacity of Legislators” (SOM dated Mar.24). This is not a disaster only for the Press and Media. In fact it is we the people who should be even more concerned. If the Press does not inform us of the shenanigans of our political leaders who will?…
Namma Rashtriya Panchanga…
March 28, 2017Sir, If you had listened to All India Radio Mysuru (FM 100.6) at 5:54 am on 22nd March 2017, the announcer would have said that as per the national calendar it was the first day of the month of ‘Chaitra’ of ‘Shalivahana Saka’ year 1939! This information intrigued me quite a bit as we normally…
Some suggestions to Kukkarahalli Lake Expert Committee
March 27, 2017Sir, This refers to the recent report “Expert Committee constituted for Kukkarahalli Lake.” The Committee members as I know are irrigation experts. The Deputy Commissioner should have included one sanitary expert in the Committee. However, before giving their report to the Karnataka Lake Development Authority, I want them to consider the following details: 1) The…
My Pandavapura connection… Down the memory lane…
March 26, 2017Sir, Your ‘Abracadabra’ about a Mandya man (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 23) has prompted me to narrate my experience with the people of Pandavapura taluk in particular. My memory goes back to 1970 when I started my practice as a surgeon in Mysore. I recall and appreciate the services of late Dr. J.S. Raman…
More dustbins needed near Mysore Palace
March 25, 2017Sir, On a visit to Mysore Palace I was shocked to see the quantum of waste littered in front of the Ganapathy Temple, Anjaneyaswamy Temple and around the parking lot. I could find only two dustbins on some obscure locations, for such a large area. The Palace being one of the major tourist attractions of…
Speed limit on Ring Road
March 24, 2017Sir, As a frequent traveller on the Ring Road, I noted a couple of months ago that the authorities have installed signboards that say that the speed limit is restricted to 40 kmph on all the stretches. However, since they are still up even after a couple of months, I thought I must bring to…
