Sir, The write-up on the vermicompost (earthworm-based) venture by Mysuru Zoo was quite informative (SOM dated Oct. 24, ‘Poop Fortune’). Thank you for the detailed coverage. It appears that the Zoo authorities are currently focusing on distributing the product to bulk customers such as farmlands, plantations and orchards. However, they should also consider catering to…
Sir, It has been years since these three main arterial roads in Hebbal Industrial Area have been in a state of total disrepair. The authorities have proven that they don’t care. 1) The road linking the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to Automotive Axles via Damden Apartments no longer exists. 2) The Infosys Road linking the…
Sir, For the past two years, a major sewage pipeline in one of Mysuru’s busy localities — Dattagalli 3rd Stage, opposite the SBI ATM — has been leaking continuously, making life miserable for nearby shopkeepers, residents and even hospital patients. Despite repeated complaints, MCC has failed to provide a permanent solution. According to local shop…
Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards a matter of serious concern on Kalidasa Road, Jayalakshmipuram. A landlord of a newly constructed commercial building has recently installed an electrical distribution box right on the public footpath, obstructing pedestrian movement. This not only creates inconvenience for walkers, especially school children, seniors…
Sir, This morning, after dropping my wife off at the bus stop near Dyuti Motors on Hunsur Road, I noticed Kantharaju, also known as Srikanth, diligently picking up garbage along the road leading to Aishwarya Petrol Bunk. The litter, carelessly thrown by irresponsible people, showed little regard for those who have to manually clean it…
Sir, I wish to draw the attention of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner to a long-standing problem faced by residents of 11th Main, 21st Cross, D-Block, J.P. Nagar. For the past year, the underground drainage (UGD) line has been overflowing twice every month and sewage flows into the open drain in front of our house….
Sir, On Vanivilasa Road connecting the old Law Courts and the RTO, roadside mobile fast food vendors have encroached upon the footpath, causing severe inconvenience to pedestrians, especially senior citizens. As a result, people are forced to walk on the main road, which in turn disrupts traffic movement during peak hours. More importantly, Vanivilasa Road…
Sir, Two shocking murders have rocked Mysuru in recent months. In May, a rowdy-sheeter named Karthik was brutally killed. Now, in October 2025, his associate Venkatesh, known as ‘Gilki Venkatesh,’ has met the same fate — murdered in broad daylight, in full view of tourists and residents alike. Such incidents expose a grave lapse in…
Sir, Day after day, life has become a breath-holding affair for those living in and around Mysore Palace, the Exhibition Grounds and the Zoo — particularly for us, the residents of Ittigegud. Once a proud and peaceful neighbourhood, it is now descending into chaos and insecurity. Illegal parking has taken over our roads. Cars are…
Sir, This refers to the serial accident on Chamundi Hill Road (SOM dated Sept. 27). According to an eyewitness account, there was a sudden increase in the speed of the bus and the driver was unable to bring it under control. The safety instruction from vehicle manufacturers for driving on ghat (hill) roads is very…
