Death trap in waiting on Contour Road

November 2, 2025

Sir, The above is a picture of Contour Road in Gokulam. This stretch was cut open by someone and later filled in poorly. There is also a manhole nearby. Due to these uneven patches, potholes and the stones placed by a few homeowners, vehicles — both large and small — dangerously sway and twist while…

Dangerous crawling…

October 31, 2025

Sir, On the morning of Oct. 26, I was shocked to witness two men dangerously crawling on a hoarding along JLB Road, attempting to cover it with a black canvas. They were risking their lives merely to earn daily wages. The advertiser or agency responsible for this billboard appeared to have shown complete disregard for…

Pathetic condition of roads at KHB Hootagalli

October 30, 2025

Sir, The roads in KHB Hootagalli, coming under the jurisdiction of the City Municipal Council (CMC) Hootagalli, are in a deplorable state. After the pipeline work was completed, the roads were never re-asphalted, making motoring through the area a dreadful experience. Even the underground infrastructure is in dire need of attention. Near the signal light…

Hazardous power distribution box on Kalidasa Road footpath

October 25, 2025

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…

Garbage menace and irresponsible behaviour

October 24, 2025

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…
