Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities to the hazardous traffic situation on the stretch from Silk Factory to Srirampura Ring Road Junction in Mysuru. This is a two-way road where one carriageway is currently being converted from a tar road to a concrete road (white-topping). As the work is still in…
MCC must curb rampant building plan violations
August 9, 2026Sir, I wish to draw attention to the increasing number of building plan violations across Mysuru and the lack of effective enforcement by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). In many cases, building plans are sanctioned as per the prescribed rules and during construction, mandatory setbacks are violated, parking spaces are eliminated, unauthorised basements are constructed and additional floors are added beyond…
Hebbal entrance point is a garbage dump now
August 8, 2026Sir, It is encouraging to see Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) launch its ‘80 Garbage-Free Points’ campaign to mark the country’s 80th Independence Day (SOM dated July 28). However, I hope the initiative does not remain confined to just 80 identified locations but is expanded to every corner of the city where indiscriminate garbage dumping has…
Shabby interior roads in layouts
August 7, 2026Sir, We are quite happy that the MCC has resumed footpath works and has also taken up the concretisation of some of the major roads in Mysuru. However, I would like to bring to the notice of the authorities concerned, whether the Mysuru City Corporation, City Municipal Council or the Town Panchayat, that many of…
Hidden number plates on goods vehicles
August 6, 2026Sir, Many goods vehicles have a metal frame welded below the rear door, extending downwards and partially or completely covering the registration number plate. This practice defeats the very purpose of displaying the registration number prominently for identification. In the event of a road accident, hit-and-run case or traffic violation, CCTV cameras or photographs may…

August 5, 2026Sir, The Government has been promoting cleanliness and hygiene through the Swachh Bharat Mission. While considerable efforts are made to keep our streets and public places clean, equal attention must be given to maintaining cleanliness inside Government offices, public institutions and hospitals. A visit to many public offices, including the Deputy Commissioner’s Office, Taluk Offices,…

Narrow Railway underbridge: Motorists face problems
August 3, 2026Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the problems faced by commuters due to the narrow Railway underbridge at K.G. Koppal. The underbridge is too narrow to accommodate the increasing volume of vehicles using this route every day. During peak hours, cars, buses, two-wheelers and autorickshaws struggle to pass through…
Development Vs Environment: KRS Road RUB project
August 2, 2026Sir, This is with reference to the clearance by the Forest Department to cut down 22 fully grown trees on KRS Road for RUB underpass project at the KRS Road railway crossing.
