Sir, Even after days, months and maybe years, my complaint about the seeping manhole in our road, that is 11th Cross, 2nd Stage, Bogadi South, adjacent to CFTRI Layout, has not seen any remedial work whatsoever till now. Hence, I am forwarding a photo to support my genuine complaint. We, occupants of the particular lane,…
Sir, I am writing to bring your kind attention to the extremely poor condition of roads in our locality, RPG Cable Road opposite Damden Solarium, Hebbal Industrial Area, Mysuru, which has become a major concern for residents, students, teachers, IT professionals and commuters. Despite repeated inconveniences faced by the public, the issue still remains unresolved….
Sir, Kambala is a Malenaadu, Karavali regional sport of Karnataka. It suits the surroundings of those regions and the culture in its own seasonal setup. There is no doubt that people of Mysuru will gather in big numbers just like they do at most of the Dasara attractions, for this event as well, out of…

Sir, This refers to the letter titled “Heartbeat of a lost legacy: Bal Bhavan” in SOM dated June 11. I have said it before and I will say it again. We seem to have lost our sense of pride in our heritage and culture. Today, our focus appears to be largely on power and money….
Sir, The Ashokapuram Railway Station in Mysuru, which is now the starting and terminating point for many trains, was supposedly developed to ease congestion at the main City Railway Station and improve passenger access. However, many people we spoke to did not recommend the station for ease of access. It was only when we reached…
Sir, The Mysuru Outer Ring Road, despite being one of the city’s most prominent urban corridors, still lacks a distinctive identity of its own.
