Every day, the situation worsens, causing anxiety and inconvenience to those who need to access the establishments along this busy stretch.

Unlevelled pit posing danger to motorists
July 15, 2026Sir, In Kanakadasanagar, on the road opposite Ultima Health Care, the pit dug up for laying pipeline hasn’t been filled with mud properly and the hole is so deep that tyres of four-wheelers go below with a thud and imagine what would happen to two-wheelers when they bump into the pit. When permission is given…

The signals aren’t controlling traffic; they’re creating it!?
July 13, 2026Sir, Our city is heading toward a dangerous cautionary tale. The obsession with blindly adding traffic signals has backfired, drastically increasing congestion on roads that used to be perfectly fine.

Living identity for Ring Road: A good initiative
July 10, 2026Sir, This is with reference to an opinion ‘Why not give Outer Ring Road a living identity?’ shared by Lakan Ashvij in SOM dated June 28.

Why white top and concrete good roads?
July 9, 2026Sir, A few roads in Mysuru city are laid with white toppings and concrete, such as Bogadi Road, Manandavadi Road, etc. Many of these roads were in good condition and motorable.
