Sir, Your ‘Abracadabra’ about a Mandya man (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 23) has prompted me to narrate my experience with the people of Pandavapura taluk in particular. My memory goes back to 1970 when I started my practice as a surgeon in Mysore. I recall and appreciate the services of late Dr. J.S. Raman…
More dustbins needed near Mysore Palace
March 25, 2017Sir, On a visit to Mysore Palace I was shocked to see the quantum of waste littered in front of the Ganapathy Temple, Anjaneyaswamy Temple and around the parking lot. I could find only two dustbins on some obscure locations, for such a large area. The Palace being one of the major tourist attractions of…
Speed limit on Ring Road
March 24, 2017Sir, As a frequent traveller on the Ring Road, I noted a couple of months ago that the authorities have installed signboards that say that the speed limit is restricted to 40 kmph on all the stretches. However, since they are still up even after a couple of months, I thought I must bring to…
Monkey menace continues
March 23, 2017Sir, It was very nice to hear the news about putting an end to the monkey menace around the Kukkarahalli Lake by the Forest Department staff and MCC officials. But is this really an end to this menace ? We could still spot certain stray monkeys around the Saraswathipuram Swimming Pool road area entering the…
Mobile phone and motorists: Will this menace end?
March 23, 2017Sir, I have been writing in this column about the mobile menace of motorists. It is unfortunate that no concrete steps are taken by the stakeholders to control this menace.

Zebra Crossing: Do we really need it?
March 22, 2017Sir, I would like to bring it to the attention of the Traffic Police, the brazen disregard and violation of zebra crossing by vehicle-users. One such example we have seen time and again is at the Premier Studio junction. The Traffic Police stand on the SJCE road just about 10 feet away from the signal…
Use swiping machine for property tax
March 21, 2017Sir, From April 2017 onwards, the Zonal offices of MCC will start collecting property tax. After filling the form and standing in queue for payment at the cash counter, many persons will have to carry required denominations and enter the same in the respective cash challan. It would be better if MCC uses swiping machine…
Construct public toilet near MUDA Circle
March 21, 2017Sir, I regularly travel via Sita Vilas Road and it is disgusting to see people urinating against the compound wall of Medical College Hostel for Men. Lot many people visit the office of KR Nagar MLA S. R. Mahesh, a few offices in Sri Hari Complex and MUDA. Many of them urinate in front of…
Safety of kids on two-wheelers
March 21, 2017Sir, Apropos the letter titled Check rampant traffic violations by Dr. Vijayendra (SOM dated Mar.18), I have posted my comment on the Police web-page concerning the safety of small children when they are being carried on two-wheelers without any safety belt. There is no action by the Traffic Police regarding this issue. Simple advice by…
3-digit Vehicle No. plate is a defective one!
March 20, 2017Sir, We received a Traffic offence notice by the Police based on a ‘Public Eye’ photo sent to them about our car registration number plate bearing three digits, terming it as ‘defective’ and asking us to pay a fine of Rs.100 which we paid at V.V.Mohalla Traffic Police and promptly got it changed to four…
