Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra on MOTHER was touching (SOM dated Aug. 8). His description of losing his mother in a way that needn’t have been was almost like a confession. We still haven’t found the answers as to why elders sometimes become stubborn and refuse to co-operate with their well-meaning children in taking care and end…
Sir, A majority of city roads have been divided by providing medians. These medians, instead of helping in smooth flow of traffic, have become a nuisance. Take the case of Sahukar Chennaiah Road leading towards Maruthi Temple in Kuvempunagar. This wide road was good enough to take care of the density of traffic throughout the…
Sir, Kuvempunagar bus stand complex (a 3-storey building) built under Centre’s JNNURM scheme was inaugurated on 9.4.2011. Since then, the huge complex is lying idle except transit bus stop-over. The property could earn lot of revenue by giving it on rent to banks, offices and shops. Also, the building maintenance will cost a lot to…
Sir, It is very unfortunate that a lot of women in Gokulam have stopped going on evening walks because of the alarming rise in the number of eve-teasing incidents. The area around Ex-MLA Ramdas’ house and near Lions Sevaniketan School are particularly unsafe due to lack of street-lights. Even girls as young as 11 years…

These Departments have opened many counters across the city to ensure that the waiting time for remitting bills by consumers are reduced. However, if the ECS is introduced by these Departments,…
Sir, It is very difficult to understand government policies and priorities, much more so in the case of Municipalities, particularly the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). For instance, the MCC, which has long since completed the laying of a pukka footpath on the Southern side of Sahukar Channaiah road (having, among other buildings, the Saraswathipuram Police…
Sir, This refers to the report regarding the press conference addressed by former VC Prof. K.S. Rangappa on issues pertaining to KSOU (SOM dated Aug.2). In this connection, I wish to state the following to clear the doubts, if any, in the minds of the readers: Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) has not made any statement…
Sir, There is poor waste management in Kuvempunagar (Gaganachumbi Double Road) area opposite Jodi Basava Temple. The MCC workers do not collect the garbage kept on the passage for days together and it gets scattered everywhere. This is an unhealthy practice considering the current scenarios where dengue is spreading across the city through mosquitoes. The…
Sir, I am a resident of J.P. Nagar 7th Cross, ‘E’ Block, next to Sai Baba Temple Road. The cement signboards indicating the Cross, Main and House Nos. are in a bad condition — some of them are not visible and in some signboards letters are completely faded making it difficult for people in locating…
