The road is worn-out badly….
Unethical practice in National Highway Toll Plazas
September 3, 2017Sir, Toll Plazas are collecting excess amount than the prescribed amount by the government. Last week, we were travelling from Mysuru to Bijapur through NH 50 and NH 04 in car. To our surprise, the toll rates they were collecting is more than Re 1.1 per km for cars and in some cases it is…
Stray dog menace at Sports Pavilion
September 2, 2017Sir, It is highly regrettable to bring to the notice of MCC authorities that a pack of about twenty street dogs have made the University Sports Pavilion their inhabitant place. Almost all the dogs together disturb the children who come for sports training. As the training starts from 6 am, children running around the pavilion…
Goodness of Life…
September 2, 2017Sir, Reading Dr. Javeed Nayeem’s article “A Tale of Three Conferences!” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore, I was simply intrigued by the play of fate in each individual’s life. If one is good, providence returns that goodness multifold. The father of the girl-child with congenital defect in her heart was lucky to have Dr. Javeed…

Karnataka State pension reforms
August 29, 2017Sir, Karnataka has long been in the forefront in the field of education and development from the days of Wadiyars and Dewans. Social reforms were known all over the State. It’s but appropriate that the present administration is embarking on an all-inclusive development to reach the benefits to all sections of the community. Chief Minister…
Disrespect to National Anthem
August 28, 2017Sir, I fully agree with Dr. Javeed Nayeem for his views on National Anthem expressed in his article titled “Forced Patriotism Falls Flat” in SOM dated July 28. Playing National Anthem mandatorily in cinema halls before the commencement of a movie is not a wise decision. Cinema theatres are places of entertainment drawing people from…
