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. Though both the State and the Central Governments have stipulated that items like quarry dust powder and sand should be covered while transporting, this rule is seldom adhered to by the transporters. Majority of the transporters…
Sir, This is in support of the letter in this column by M.K. Raghu (SOM dated July 11). These days almost every other student either goes to take up engineering or medicine as a profession. And moreover many parents and teachers are not even aware of other courses that are in our curriculum. I, as…
Sir, Kudos to the Director, CSIR-CFTRI, for his wise choice to invite H.D. Deve Gowda to launch Ragi Mudde making machine.

Sir, This refers to the recent write-ups in SOM regarding the Mysuru Literary Festival held in a grand manner in the Senate Bhavan of Gangothri. Alluding to my friend K. Vijaya Kumar’s request to readers of SOM seeking any further information on the same subject, I know of the existence of one “Mysore Literary and…
Sir, I had been to the RTC (Rights, Tenancy and Crops) issuing centre at the DC Office, in order to get RTC & MR (Mutation Register) of my land. This centre, which is housed in the DC Office building, is doing a good job by sparing people from going to Taluk Office at Mini Vidhana…
Sir, The Road in front of Sairanga Residential School for Deaf and Dumb at S. S. Nagar, Bannimantap, has the most unscientific road hump. This is neither helpful to the school students nor to the residents nearby. Heavy vehicles passing through this road hump make high-density noise that is a big headache for all senior…
Sir, This has reference to the article Taming our Traffic by Dr. Javeed Nayeem (Star of Mysore dated July 7) and I fully concur with the views expressed by him. Siddarthanagar, which was till recently a quiet place, has also turned into a hot place for such adventures by youngsters, particularly on Vinaya Marga, and…
