Sir, The District Administration, especially Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) deserves applause for excellent facilities made at Vijayanagar 4th Stage Crematorium (Muktidhama) in the city. It is a neatly laid out facility for the benefit of Mysureans, who take mortal remains of their near and dear ones to perform last rites in peace. The facility…
Operation of multiple trains from Mysuru Station needs better planning
January 22, 2023Sir, Recently I travelled in Chennai Express train which departs Mysuru Railway Station at 9 pm from Platform No. 4. The Chamundi Express train arrives on Platform 5 at the same time. The stairs connecting platforms 4 and 5 are very narrow and leads to crowding at times. Though there were other platforms without any…

Make use of Rs. 10 and Rs. 20 coins hassle free
January 20, 2023Sir, We have heard a lot about fake currencies earlier too, for instance coin in the denomination of Rs. 10. Recently I had visited Shirdi and could see people exchange Rs. 10 coin, but whereas in Karnataka especially in Mysuru, the traders do not accept Rs. 10 coin.

Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway: Collect toll after due procedures
January 19, 2023Sir, Recent reports have indicated that Mysuru-Bengaluru Expres-sway will not have access to two-wheelers and three-wheelers. I perceive that National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Government is contemplating a hefty toll in this NH 275 Expressway. I would like to mention that toll is not a tax. It’s the money collected to maintain…
Unviable timings of Vande Bharat Express
January 18, 2023Sir, It is really beyond anybody’s comprehension that how Indian Railways has scheduled to run Vande Bharat Express and Shatabdi Express trains between Chennai and Mysuru almost at the same time. Whatever may be the operational difficulties or constraints to select different timings, the time schedule of the newly introduced Vande Bharat Express cannot be…

Online booking of entry tickets to Daria Daulat posing problems
January 14, 2023Sir, I recently visited Daria Daulat Bagh along with my family on a trip to Srirangapatna. We were surprised to find that the offline ticket counter was closed permanently and that we were required to book entry tickets online. This posed a major problem for many of the tourists there, particularly senior citizens and foreign…
Mysuru-Chennai route: Convert Shatabdi into Jan Shatabdi Fast Express train
January 13, 2023Sir, Most of us feel that the timings of Vande Bharat and Shatabdi trains clash without serving the purpose of the passengers belonging to upper class or middle class families. Please run the trains with similar timings in opposite directions and connect a few bogies for middle class people also. Or run one train of…
