Sir, It is generally considered a taboo to discuss or debate on personal cleanliness in public. Thanks to Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem for his bold, thought-provoking and timely articles on personal cleanliness in his column ‘Over a cup of evening tea’ [SOM dated Mar.17 and 25]. Under the title ‘Let Clean Bottoms Come First!’ shall…
Sir, Recently, street-lights were partially disconnected for unknown reasons on T.P. Kailasam Road, opposite Sri Sharada Public School, that comes under Bogadi division of CHESCom. As a result, a stretch of wide and short distanced road surrounded by newly-built residential houses becomes pitch dark by evening. Also due to enormous vacant space around this road,…

The authorities associated with the mysterious disappearance of bus shelters in front of Kamakshi Hospital and Sigma Hospital owe an explanation to the bus-travelling public they have put to inconvenience. A few months ago, the ITS enabled shelter…
Sir, The approaching road to Roopanagar on Bogadi main road through SBM Employees Layout is in a very bad condition and requires immediate repairs. The road has not been repaired for the last 3-4 years. With full of potholes, the residents of SBM Layout and Roopanagar find it very difficult to drive on this stretch…
