Sir, It is good to see that many roads in and around Mysuru are getting upgraded to double roads. But such good roads have badly maintained meridians because of the growth of wild plants and due to apathy of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) engineers. With transparent and corruption free approach, the MCC can yield additional…

Sir, It was quite interesting to browse through your Weekend STAR Supplement on IPL 20-20 cricket matches (SOM dated Apr.7) which gave a surfeit of info on IPL with background history of various star players and team members along with match schedule and venues. It benefited the cricket aficionados to get to know the capabilities…

Sir, I was surprised to receive a notice of traffic offence for no fault of mine. The notice was about a helmetless driving of a two-wheeler which was in my name for the use of my daughter. Purchased in November 2005, this vehicle moved to my daughter’s inlaws home following her marriage in 2013. This…

Sir, The budget session of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha has been a total wash out without transacting any business. The opposition MPs rushing to the Well of the House shouting and creating a ruckus has resulted in repeated adjournments. There were instances where only three MPs of AIADMK stalled the proceedings…

Sir, Recently I have noticed a car coming from MCC Office side and going towards Albert Victor Road without taking the roundabout at K.R. Circle. When I stopped and asked the driver why he did not take the roundabout when all other vehicles are following the rules, to my utter shock, I got a reply…

Sir, Mysuru is an upcoming cosmopolitan city, apart from being a place frequented by domestic and international tourists, since a long time. Mysuru being a tourist centre should exhibit tourist-friendly gestures like readable name-boards, destination boards, direction boards in local language and in English. Unfortunately, we have some myopic leaders, instigating their blind followers, to…

Sir, I wish to highlight the plight of senior citizens, ladies and students while travelling in city buses. Many a times it has been observed that some drivers of these buses do not care for the safety of the passengers. Also they do not stop at the designated stop but at some distance away from…

Sir, A few days ago two persons came to my house with a list to verify whether my name is in the electoral list but could not find it. When I enquired as to what I should do they said the list is with various persons and that they will come later. Till now nobody…
