Sir, This refers to the various letters and factual reports on ‘stray dog menace’ that appeared in Star of Mysore recently. I would like to add that in Ramakrishnanagar-I Block also this menace is increasing. Some times there are so many, clustered together, like there is a ‘Summit Meeting of dogs’. On a serious note,…
Sir, Apropos to the article “MCC hits upon novel idea” (Star of Mysore dated July 23), I have a few thoughts which may be debated. Even though the idea may be novel of the MCC to introduce Iron Bollards to end parking and hawking menace, my question was, has the MCC considered the plight of…
Sir, I fully endorse the suggestion by Vasanth (SOM dated July 26) on introducing circular bus routes without touching CBS. As of now, it appears that the concerned are just following the traditional method of increasing frequency of buses depending on the commuters without exploring other options. Unless they travel regularly to different parts of…
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra in yesterday’s SOM was a remarkable recollection of Economic and Political Weekly (EPW). My introduction to the magazine came in early 1970s when I was a student at the Central College in Bangalore studying B.A Economics (Honours). During one of the debates in the campus, a senior of mine was extracting content…
Sir, With reference to the traffic issues at schools published in this column (SOM dated July 25), I would like to add some more points on the safety of school children at their schools. As suggested by the reader, the Traffic Wardens Organisation (TWO) in association with city Traffic Police are organising traffic awareness programmes…
Sir, I am concerned about government planting tree-saplings on the NH (T. Narasipur Main Road) unscientifically even without thinking that the NH will get broader; at least in ten years it may become four-lane. The saplings planted on either side of the road which is just 6 feet away from the road edge will definitely…
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, As schools are essential parts of our life, one will find them in all residential areas, commercial areas and even on main roads. Without going into the details of the traffic problems near these schools, I would like to make some suggestions which would require active participation of the school, civic body, Traffic Police…
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. But our city is not completely clean because of the foul smell emanating from storm-water drains. The name storm-water itself implies that the drain is meant to drain off rain water only. But…
