Sir, The residents of Kshetraiah Road in K.R. Mohalla under Ward No. 36 have been facing problems with the increase of private transport offices over the past few months. The transporters frequently indulge in rowdyism thereby posing a threat to people living in the area. Women and children are not safe as lorry drivers, cleaners…
Sir, Congratulations to Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem on his highly interesting and socially relevant article ‘Let Clean Bottoms Come First!’ in SOM dated Mar.17. Here is a quotation from Shashi Tharoor’s latest book ‘An Era of Darkness’ on the British Empire in India, which is related to the same subject: The East India Company had…
Sir, I was surprised to read what a person of Dr. S. Dandapani’s eminence and experience has to say on ‘the proposed shoot of classroom lectures.’ With the standard of education going down by the day, what with the quality of teaching staff we have today, I (who was a lecturer of Law over 40…
Sir, It is not clear how to consider the news of city Traffic Police collecting Rs.7.13 lakh as fine from violators in just three days (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 5), that too only in certain areas of the city. Whether it is efficiency of the Traffic Cops to have rigorous checks or the inability…
Sir, This has reference to the article ‘Mysuru, a plan for the future’ by M.L.Krishnaswami (SOM dated Mar.14). It beautifully enumerates the past glory of the heritage city, giving out valid ideas to make it more worthy of its cleanest city tag. As he rightly said, a strong will and determination are what is required….
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled “After a day’s lazing or hard work, let us relax !” (SOM dated Feb.28) made a good reading. His observation that when you do work which you enjoy you don’t feel any fatigue, is very true. It is a source of immense job satisfaction. In this connection, I may mention that…
Sir, I would like to thank Star of Mysore because after winning Rs. 1000 in Lucky Grahak Yojane it was through SOM that I came to know about an old lady who lost her household belongings in a cylinder blast. Giving someone Rs. 1000 that I got in Lucky Grahak Yojane was not a big…
Sir, Our one-time beautiful Bogadi village road is now turning notoriously infamous into a banner road. There is not a day on which we can see the stretch without some banner or the other. I am surprised how the authorities give permission to put up huge cut-outs of local residents for their birthdays with at…
Sir, This has reference to a report on the above matter in SOM dated 11.2.2017. I have been following up this matter with the Traffic Police in Mysuru for the last five years. Initially, I used to raise this matter in monthly meetings but stopped attending the meetings as it proved futile. I have not…
Sir, The news item “Two bike riders killed as they hit road barricades” (SOM dated Feb.10) is really sad and shocking. Two precious lives were lost for no fault of theirs and their family members have to undergo trauma life-long. Barricades are installed with a good intention to reduce the speed — provided barricades are…
