Shifting Yuva Dasara venue to outskirts does not make sense
September 28, 2024It robs Mysuru city centre of its liveliness during Dasara Sir, I am writing to express my concern over the recent decision of the District Administration to shift the venue of the much-anticipated Yuva Dasara event from the traditional Maharaja’s College Grounds to the outskirts of the city near Utthanahalli.

Unsafe state of Dasara illumination workers
September 28, 2024Sir, The contractors installing the Dasara illumination displays are at grave risk, with a terrible accident waiting to happen.

Why no illumination on N.S. Road for Dasara?
September 24, 2024Sir, The busy Narayana Shastri (N.S.) Road is one of the oldest roads in Mysuru, yet it never gets illuminated for Dasara. While some Circles are illuminated, the full stretch of N.S. Road, from Vidyaranyapuram and Chamundipuram to Devaraj Urs Road, remains neglected.
