Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra in  SOM  dated Oct.15 titled  ‘Special visitors at my house‘  made an excellent and extremely interesting reading. We every now and  then read in newspapers  about  the inhuman treatment meted out by the general  public  cursing  these strays of causing much nuisance in their localities and pleading  with  the Mysuru City Corporation…

Sir, I visited the Aadhaar Seva Kendra in Kuvempunagar recently to update my Aadhaar. I was sceptical expecting chaos being a Government Office service conditions. But to my surprise, the staff at the Aadhaar Seva Kendra were helpful, guiding the customers, the service is completely digitised, the use of paper is minimal, token system with…

Sir, I went to Vartha Bhavan (Department of Information and Public Relations) to purchase tickets for the film festival, but I was surprised by the procedure. They asked me to provide a photo ID and a passport photo.  Firstly, I was disappointed to find that there were no tickets or brochures available at the centre….

Sir, The suggestion by V.R. Venugopal for resolving the Cauvery water dispute is highly commendable and pragmatic (SOM dated Oct.9, 2023). In the present highly advanced technological days, drilling an underground tunnel from Linganamakki Dam to Shivanasamudra is definitely possible, of course with huge funds from the contesting players including Central Government.

Sir, There has been a noticeable decline in the growth of the Mysuru Airport over the past few months, which is a concerning trend for a city like Mysuru, known for its significance in tourism. This downturn can be attributed to the cancellation and reduction of flights. Notably, flights to destinations like Mangaluru, Goa and…

Sir, I commend our City Traffic Police for initiating action on penalising the faulty number plates, albeit somewhat belatedly. There are numerous motorists who deliberately flout the regulations concerning proper display of registration number plates, often with dubious intentions. It is essential that these violators are apprehended. My hope is that the traffic authorities will…

Sir, Kudos to the Mysuru City Police for their recent crackdown on vehicles with faulty number plates, as reported in SOM dated Oct. 4. This move is wholeheartedly appreciated by law-abiding citizens. One can observe a myriad of blatant violations when it comes to the legibility and standards of fonts, sizes and shapes on number…

Sir, I have noticed a concerning trend where many young individuals riding motorcycles do not have rear number plates on their bikes. Often, they ride with two pillion passengers on the back and speed at high velocities. Even the Police seem to face challenges in addressing this issue. These riders are often aware of where…
