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…
Sir, Kukkarahalli Kere is a walker’s paradise. And I speak for all morning and evening joggers when I say that hundreds of people enjoy the quietness and silence it provides. As do the various flora and fauna that reside in the Lake. Transforming the lake into a tourist destination with butterfly parks and entry arches…
Sir, For the last 10 days, interesting observations, exaggerated statistics and impending threats to biodiversity of Kukkarahalli Lake are being discussed in different forums by different group of activists.

Sir, It was disheartening to read the news item “IAF staffer killed in bike accident” (Star of Mysore dated Feb. 12). Many road accidents have occurred in the Ring Road starting from under-bridge near Hotel Royal Inn till Columbia Asia Hospital during the past. I am a regular commuter on this stretch for the past…
Sir, In spite of vigilant checks by the Traffic Police at many vantage points, we still can see plenty of traffic rules violators. In the attached photo one rider appears to be of underage riding without helmet and the other rider has removed his vehicle registration number plate and also riding without helmet. The riders…
Sir, I write this letter with an intention to add to the voice being raised by concerned citizens against the ill-conceived ‘development’ works being implemented in the Kukkarahalli Tank and its environs. Tanks are usually constructed to store the flow that originates in the ‘catchment area’ as a result of rainfall on it. But, Kukkarahalli…
Sir, Developmental works such as widening walking path, boating activities, de-silting, children’s park and butterfly park are on at the Kukkarahalli Lake. Are these works necessary? At the Lake, over 170 species of birds are being recorded and over 30 species breed here. Year-on-year, as Mysuru grows, the number of birds are decreasing. Ducks like…
