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 MV’s advice to Mysore Varsity graduates
March 16, 2017Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled “After a day’s lazing or hard work, let us relax !” (SOM dated Feb.28) made a good reading.

Traffic violations on the rise
March 13, 2017Sir, It is surprising to learn that more than 3,000 traffic violations in 45 different categories were being noticed on a Sunday in city.

Use of defective or…
Is this the way to cross the road?
March 12, 2017Sir, Many vehicle-users comment on the Traffic Police whenever there is an inconvenience caused to them due to any reason related to traffic movement.
