Sir, I wish to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned that the CESC is regularly engaged in wanton destruction of mature trees across the city; and trees in Parks are no exception. Instead of pruning branches that might touch over-hanging cables, mature branches are being cut using sickle. CESC staff do not heed…
Sir, The articles about generic medicines written by N.K.A. Ballal and Dr. Javeed Nayeem (SOM dated May 18, 19 & 26) made an interesting but sad reading. Both have taken a lot of trouble to explain the genesis of generic medicines and both have succeeded in their missions in labelling generic medicines as something that…
Sir, I daily travel along Kalamandira Road. I have observed that a lot of garbage in bags or used plates, cups, worn-out bed etc., are being dumped on both the footpaths. In spite of repeated requests, the area Corporator has not take any action. I once again request the MCC Commissioner to get both the…

Riding two-wheelers with 3 or 4 persons, rash driving, speeding on the wrong side, jumping the signal, riding side by side talking loudly inconveniencing other road users and so on have become a common sight. What is shocking is overtaking from left side on cross roads….

Sir, This refers to the article titled ‘Son of Kodagu leaves his footprint on snow clad mountains’ published in two parts in SOM dated May 5 and 6, 2017 about K.B. Appachu. I had written in this column under the title ‘Vanishing Kodavas: Some facts’ (SOM dated Oct. 4, 2015), that Kodavas are well-educated, disciplined…
Sir, I wish to express my concerns over the recent decision to cancel uniforms for PU students (SOM dated May 18). Though the PU Board Director C.Shikha would have put in a lot of thought and analysis into taking this decision, here are a few points I would like to share with readers as well…
Sir, This is the pathetic state of rain water drain on 8th Main, 13th Cross, Saraswathipuram. These electric poles with a transformer is sure to come down crashing due to the rapid force of rain water flowing in the drain which may affect the lives of people living around these poles. Hence, I request the…
Sir, Apropos the views expressed by Sheeba on stray dog menace (SOM dated May 23), we too face a similar problem of stray dog menace in Udayagiri (opposite Tipu Park).
