Sir, Citizens have been facing a severe problem for the past five to six days on the road near the gate of Vidyavardhaka College of Engineering, connecting to the Kannada Sahitya Parishat Road as sewage water is overflowing from a manhole, forcing college students, the public, and commuters to cover their noses while passing by….
Sir, There has been rampant and unscientific burning of dried grass and waste materials in the open space near Falcon Tyres on KRS Road.

The worst affected are elderly citizens and children, who suffer from breathing difficulties…
Sir, The series of accidents since 2018 at the Visvesvaraya Canal in Mandya, which has claimed numerous lives — including the latest incident on Feb. 3, when a car plunged into the canal after the driver lost control, resulting in three deaths (Star of Mysore dated Feb. 4) — can only be attributed to the…

Sir, The Nanjangud toll booth, where toll fees are collected, is a mere waste given the deplorable condition of the road.

Sir, This road, which connects Koorgalli Industrial Area and BEML from Infosys, sees a good number of daily commuters and industrial trucks and heavy vehicles. Sadly, they have to pass a road which is not really a road. There is a big pothole and is leading to many accidents on a daily basis. This pothole…
