Sir, Thank you for publishing the first editorial, heralding the birth of Star of Mysore on 16.2.1978, 39 years back, in the Special 40th Anniversary Issue dated 16.2.2017. It was quite exhaustive and all the promises, aspirations and improvements conveyed therein, have been successfully implemented during these 39 long years. It is no mean an effort…
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.

You are having doubt whether Kukkarahalli has 170 species of…
Sir, Yesterday when I went to the V.V Mohalla Post Office with a Bank cheque to be credited to my PPF account, there I was asked to send it through the Post Office Savings Bank account. This rule has put people who do not have PO savings account into difficulty. They have shifted the Gokulam…
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…
