Sir, Roads in East Mysuru at areas including Kalyanagiri Nagar, Sathagalli Layout, Raghavendra Nagar and Azeez Sait Nagar have become an eyesore and a mess for road users. Though the roads were dug up almost a year ago to lay UGD pipes and new water connection lines, they have not yet been re-laid. One must…
Sir, Apropos the news item “City Police evict roadside shops” (SOM dated Aug. 12), roadside shops on Sayyaji Rao Road being cleared by the MCC and the Police is a ‘tamasha.’ Why do the authorities wait until they receive complaints to act? Why are they not proactive? These shops will reappear in just a couple…
Sir, The concern raised by Prof. B.S. Shankara on new two-wheelers moving without number plates in city is highly appreciated (SOM dated Aug. 16). Here, I would like to inform that it is not just new two-wheelers or cars that run sans registration number plates but even many old vehicles are also being used on…
Sir, S.N. Venkatnag Sober’s feature on “Mysuru’s tryst with Freedom Movement: Recalling Mysuru’s role in India’s Freedom Struggle” (Star of Mysore dated Aug. 13) was interesting. I was happy to find the name of my uncle — my father’s elder brother — G.R. Swamy in the write-up. G.R. Swamy aka G. Ramaswamy was a veteran…
Sir, Signal lights were installed at Kumbarakoppal Gate, KRS Road, Mysuru, two years ago. But nowadays suddenly they are defunct for reasons known to the authorities concerned only. This Gate is a very busy junction, particularly during peak hours. Is it not the duty of the authorities concerned to maintain functioning of the traffic signals…
Sir, It was a noble gesture of my friend KBG to dedicate his Abracadabra written in the midnight (we got our hard-earned Independence too in the midnight) to appear in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 14, 2017, for nothing much I did to his column. As a prolific and seasoned writer with a rich journalistic…
Sir, I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned for corrective action at RTO and/ or Traffic Police to prevent cases of vehicles, especially the new two-wheelers, being freely used on the roads without the registration number. The basic purpose of the registration number with its specification of size, colour and format…
Sir, International trade between various countries is a must for survival of all the nations and invariably there are trade imbalances. While India is exporting a lot of goods to other countries, it has a net trade deficit of about 47 Billion US Dollars with China! They are using this economic strength to bully us….
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled ‘MOTHER’ published in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 8 was thought-provoking. I had tears in my eyes when I read that article. Two incidents have been narrated in the article. One is the outcome of materialistic approach towards our life under the influence of Western culture and the other incident of…
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra on MOTHER was touching (SOM dated Aug. 8). His description of losing his mother in a way that needn’t have been was almost like a confession. We still haven’t found the answers as to why elders sometimes become stubborn and refuse to co-operate with their well-meaning children in taking care and end…
