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, 2025Sir, 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, 2025Sir, 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…
Illegal encroachment, footpath damage by street hawkers
October 29, 2025Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to a serious issue of footpath encroachment and damage along T.K. Layout Main Road — from RTTC water tank up to Kavitha Bakery. At least 10 street hawkers operate near the water tank, having damaged the footpath to erect permanent and…
Zoo vermicompost: Why not retail sale?
October 28, 2025Sir, The write-up on the vermicompost (earthworm-based) venture by Mysuru Zoo was quite informative (SOM dated Oct. 24, ‘Poop Fortune’). Thank you for the detailed coverage. It appears that the Zoo authorities are currently focusing on distributing the product to bulk customers such as farmlands, plantations and orchards. However, they should also consider catering to…
Miserable arterial roads in Hebbal Industrial Area
October 27, 2025Sir, It has been years since these three main arterial roads in Hebbal Industrial Area have been in a state of total disrepair. The authorities have proven that they don’t care. 1) The road linking the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to Automotive Axles via Damden Apartments no longer exists. 2) The Infosys Road linking the…
Dattagalli 3rd Stage crying for attention
October 26, 2025Sir, For the past two years, a major sewage pipeline in one of Mysuru’s busy localities — Dattagalli 3rd Stage, opposite the SBI ATM — has been leaking continuously, making life miserable for nearby shopkeepers, residents and even hospital patients. Despite repeated complaints, MCC has failed to provide a permanent solution. According to local shop…
Hazardous power distribution box on Kalidasa Road footpath
October 25, 2025Sir, 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, 2025Sir, 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…
MCC refusing to clear UGD overflow despite follow-ups
October 17, 2025Sir, I wish to draw the attention of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner to a long-standing problem faced by residents of 11th Main, 21st Cross, D-Block, J.P. Nagar. For the past year, the underground drainage (UGD) line has been overflowing twice every month and sewage flows into the open drain in front of our house….
