Sir, With reference to the recent letter titled “Whither Hawkers’ Zones?” by SOM reader Mirza, I would like to bring to the attention of authorities concerned and public that in Darjeeling a separate street was established for hawkers to do their business and it is one of the tourists’ attractions there.

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.

Sir, I would like to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned about the nuisance faced by vehicle-users like me and many others at the traffic signal junction of Outer Ring Road and Hunsur Road. The motorists are constantly bothered by a group of beggars, donation collectors and vendors when we stop for the…
Sir, On Sunday, 17th September, I wanted to go to Bengaluru and boarded a train on Platform Number 5. When it started moving I learnt that it was Mysuru-Talaguppa Express. In a hurry, I got down but my handbag remained in that train. The handbag had two FD receipts valued Rs. 4,75,000. I just informed…
Sir, The recent news from Railway authorities proposing change in sleeping time during night travel has both advantage and disadvantage to passengers.
