Sir, At present, city buses unnecessarily travel around Mysore Palace, Pathashala, Hardinge Circle and City Bus Stand (CBS). The buses that end its journey in CBS should only enter the city bus stand; rest of the buses should not enter CBS at all like in Bengaluru. For instance, Route No. 20 from Sharadadevinagar to JP…

Sir, The other day one of my relatives complained of chest pain and we immediately shifted him to Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Mysuru, via Ring Road. To our surprise, when we approached the hospital, we went further half-a-kilometer to take ‘U’ turn to enter the emergency ward. It is really difficult to understand why there is…
Sir, Mysuru city, which was previously rated the numero uno cleanest city in the country has slid down to 5th place now.

Sir, The hopes of Mysuru for a hat-trick, on being adjudged as the cleanest city for the third time, was shattered when it was pushed down to the fifth place, conceding the honour to Indore which, like Mysuru, is an ex-Princely State in Madhya Pradesh ruled by Holkar Dynasty. The most benevolent and revered ruler…
Sir, HOPCOMS is catering to the vegetable and fruit requirement of consumers in the State. However, most of the outlets need proper upkeep and cleanliness. At present, there is no proper arrangement to notify the day’s rates for items that are available for sale. Whatever the salesman demands has to be paid. I am witness…
Sir, In his article “Musings on Guru Poornima Day” (Star of Mysore dated July 15) Prof. A.V. Narasimha Murthy has mentioned that Teacher’s Day is not celebrated in the USA, which is not correct. Traditionally, the Tuesday of the first full week of May is celebrated as National Teacher Day in the US. Hence, the…
Sir, Of late, there is a surge in the number of trucks carrying quarry dust in and around Mysuru.
