Sir, This letter is to draw the attention of MCC officials to a gaping hole opposite the Gate of Chinmaya Vidyalaya in Jayalakshmipuram as seen in the picture. This hole has been created by the caving in of the land due to the recent rains. This can be dangerous for elders and children walking on…

Sir, The write-up by Dr. Javeed Nayeem titled ‘Brutalising doctors for doing good!’ (Star of Mysore dated Apr. 10) portrays a very disturbing development of service in rural areas. He has referred to two incidents in which doctors with noble purpose of serving in rural India were subjected to attack by the local goons. In…

Sir, With deep anguish and pain I write here about the ‘illegal’ toll collection on Mysuru-Nanjangud National Highway (NH) for the last two years. The reason why I say it is ‘illegal’ is that there are a 100-plus potholes and 200-plus places where the road has chipped off. Is this why we pay for tolled…

Therefore, it can be suggested that the provision of making this  stretch a ‘speed limit zone’ may please…

Sir, This refers to the letter titled “Never-ending travails on Kalidasa Road”  by K. Chandrahas in Star of Mysore dated Apr. 8.  He has rightly pointed out how the pedestrians are not provided proper pavement for easy movement, in spite of having enough space along the length of the Kalidasa Road. Further, the traffic signal…

Sir, I have a fondness for Mysuru that a child has for its mother’s home. It brings me joy each time I visit the city. I grew up as a child here in my grandfather’s house in Saraswathipuram in the 70s – 80s and did my medical education in Mysore Medical College from 1990 -1996….

Sir, With the reduction in COVID-19 cases, after a long gap, thousands of people are visiting tourist places. Brindavan Gardens at KRS is one of the most popular tourist destinations for people far and near. We also planned our visit to Brindavan recently.
