Sir, Recently, burglars have been targeting buildings under construction, stealing electric wires during the night. The wires are cut from sockets and taken away, ranging in length from one to three feet. The thieves strip off the plastic insulation to extract the inner copper strands, which are then sold by weight. Residents, particularly in Vijayanagar…

Sir, I would like to draw the attention to the growing challenges and inconvenience faced by senior citizens who need to submit a Life Certificate at their bank branches to continue receiving their pensions and other Government benefits. While many banks provide a door step service to assist these individuals, this service is often not…

Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to the blocked sanitary line in Ramakrishnanagar 1st Main, A and B Block. Residents are struggling with the constant stench and a surge in mosquitoes, making daily life unbearable. Despite numerous complaints and repeated calls to the UGD Inspector, no effective…

Sir, I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed Rail Coach Restaurant at Vivekananda Park, opposite Vontikoppal Police Station (as reported in SOM on Nov. 7). Although the concept of a unique dining experience is appealing, the practical implications of this location are worrisome. This intersection is already known for severe traffic congestion…

Sir, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the aggressive Rhesus monkey causing disturbances around the City Railway Station, as reported in SOM on Oct. 25. The lack of immediate action on this matter poses a threat to the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors. Recently, my 11-year-old daughter was targeted…

This is a positive…

Sir, For the past one-and-a-half-months, we, the residents of 5th, 6th, and 7th Blocks in Shakthinagar, Mysuru, have been enduring the unbearable stench from an overflowing UGD pipe, which has also clogged the rainwater drain. Despite our repeated complaints to the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), no action has been taken. Our latest complaint number is…

Sir, I live on 5th Main Road, V.V. Mohalla. Of late, I have been observing that several owners of independent houses, as also apartments, have been encroaching the areas outside their compounds and either landscaping the area or paving the area in such a manner that it becomes impossible to utilise those spaces to park…

Sir, The wheeled traffic between Mysuru and Nanjangud on NH 766 is consistently heavy. About a kilometre before Nanjangud, the road splits: The main route continues to Gundlupet, while a left deviation leads to Chamarajanagar. Vehicles heading to Chamarajanagar inevitably encounter a Railway crossing near Apollo Circle, in front of BDO Office. To alleviate congestion at…

Sir, Recently, there has been a troubling increase in motorists flouting basic lane discipline, often driving on the wrong side of the road. This not only obstructs the free flow of traffic but also poses a significant risk of accidents. Such violations are particularly evident right in front of the V.V. Puram Police Stations (Law…
