Sir, This photo taken recently clearly indicates that the two-wheeler rider violated lane discipline by riding on the other side of the road divider (cement barricade) at AIISH Circle on Bogadi road. When red signal was on for him, instead of stopping behind the already waiting vehicles on the left side of this divider, he…
Sir, Prof. A.V. Narasimha Murthy’s article titled “The Cult of Lord Narasimha” (SOM dated May 20) was highly illuminating. Mysuru’s three Narasimha temples can be interestingly traced to Melukote, the temple town nearby. The first temple on Ramavilas Road is managed by Ahobila Mutt. The founder of the Mutt is from Melukote who on divine…
Sir, Nowadays it is very common to see violation of one-way rule on city roads. It is also seen on prominent and busy roads at the city centre, even at night times. One-way rule is imposed to avoid inconvenience to road-users, especially vehicles, when the road is very narrow and the sign boards are also…
Sir, It is really painful to observe many of the four-wheeler drivers heading for a race with the ambulance, in spite of having sufficient road clearance to give way to the ambulance.

Sir, The Karnataka State Food Safety Commissioner has banned, inter alia, the sale of “limestone paste” which is used in the preparation of paan beeda in packets and tubes (SOM dated May 16). I am afraid, there has been some mix-up in the nomenclature. The mineral, calcium carbonate, occurs in several forms: Limestone, Chalk, Calcite,…
Sir, It is becoming common these days, three adults, mostly head-long youngsters, triple riding two-wheelers (scooters and bikes), which is not only a violation of traffic rules but also an invitation to accidents. A scooter or bike is designed to carry two persons only and any extra load it is made to haul may result…
Sir, It is reported that the Government of Kerala has initiated action to develop the whole village of Chambai where Vid. Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar, a celebrated vocalist and a famous guru of the yesteryears was born, into a cultural centre. In the background of this news item, I bring to light an example of the utter…
Sir, This has reference to the request that was made to Bogadi CHESCom on the restoration of streetlights’ connection on TP Kailasam Road, opposite Sri Sharada Public School (Star of Mysore dated Apr.6). It was happy to note that the streetlights glowed on May 10 but it was also noticed that there was incomplete execution…
