Sir, I refer to the interesting article by V.N. Prasad in SOM dated 4.1.2017. The suggestion made by the author is very much necessary lest the public money goes to drain in the absence of quality control. It seems Prasad has not taken into consideration two more critical issues associated with widening and improving the…
Sir, This has reference to the news item ‘New Railway Over and Under Bridges sanctioned for city’ (SOM dated Feb.6). While welcoming such Road Under Bridges (RUBs) and Road Over Bridges (ROBs) that help in easy movement of vehicles at Railway crosses, authorities have to also plan for pedestrian walkways in RUBs and ROBs according…
Sir, Just a few days back I was travelling to Bengaluru by Rajya Rani Express which departs from Mysuru at 2.30 pm. The journey was very awesome up to Naganahalli. The train reached Naganahalli so fast that I didn’t feel like I travelled. It was there almost at 4.30 pm. But trouble started only after…
Sir, The Clean City tag for Mysuru is deserved for many reasons but not for few reasons. Some aspects lets down the criteria at many places. The entire stretch of Lansdowne building (backside) wall on 1st Cross, Jaganmohan Palace Road, is spilled with nauseous urine slush. Public are using this wall exclusively for urinating purpose….
Sir, The raging controversy over layouts coming under Kurubarahalli Survey No. 4 and Alanahalli Survey No. 41 clearly shows that our elected representatives including the MP, MLAs, MLCs and Corporators have not exerted pressure on the State Government to resolve the long-pending issue that has been created by some government officials who lacked knowledge about…
Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the difficulties faced by the aged passengers who are alighting from the long distance buses at Mysuru. In the absence of any parking area adjacent to the alighting gate, aged passengers have to walk a long distance through busy traffic road to…
Sir, This has reference to ‘Abracadabra’ by KBG in SOM dated Feb. 13, 2017. I am not a cartoonist nor am I good at drawing. Hence I thought I would write about a Common Man of India-2017, in words which may interest a few. The Common Man of 2017 has a disappointed face and at…
Sir, Thank you for publishing the first editorial, heralding the birth of Star of Mysore on 16.2.1978, 39 years back, in the Special 40th Anniversary Issue dated 16.2.2017. It was quite exhaustive and all the promises, aspirations and improvements conveyed therein, have been successfully implemented during these 39 long years. It is no mean an effort…
Sir, I was heart-broken last evening on seeing the newly-constructed Elephant Fountain Circle at Moulana Abul Kalam Azad Circle (Highway Circle) vandalised by a political party with its flags wrapped all around etc. There is every chance of such beautiful elephant statue with trunk and tusk getting damaged, if it is not already damaged. Party…
Sir, Residents of Ramakrishna-nagar H-Bock have been facing the problem of stray dogs chasing children, cyclists, two-wheelers, vendors,cattle etc., besides making loud noise during night and thus depriving us the much-needed sleep. They are also multiplying in short time, thanks to inefficient animal birth control programme. Several puppies are born and are roaming the streets…
