Sir, It is shocking to know that a new Park has come up near Kalamandira junction on Mysuru-Hunsur Highway. Parks are meant for people to relax themselves for a while, particularly in the evenings, breathing fresh air and enjoying virtually a noise-free environment. But, this new Park does not meet the above requirement. The site…

Sir, There seems to be no system in place for proper disposal and management of debris in Mysuru city.
