More on vehicles without number plates!
August 18, 2017Sir, The concern raised by Prof. B.S. Shankara on new two-wheelers moving without number plates in city is highly appreciated (SOM dated Aug. 16).

Defunct signal lights at Kumbarakoppal Gate
August 17, 2017Sir, Signal lights were installed at Kumbarakoppal Gate, KRS Road, Mysuru, two years ago. But nowadays suddenly they are defunct for reasons known to the authorities concerned only.

Bring in road discipline by booking traffic violators
May 29, 2017Sir, Mysuru city traffic is in a real mess. Riding two-wheelers with 3 or 4 persons, rash driving, speeding on the wrong side, jumping the signal, riding side by side talking loudly inconveniencing other road users and so on have become a common sight. What is shocking is overtaking from left side on cross roads….
Scooter is for two; not for too many !
May 18, 2017Sir, It is becoming common these days, three adults, mostly head-long youngsters, triple riding two-wheelers (scooters and bikes), which is not only a violation of traffic rules but also an invitation to accidents. A scooter or bike is designed to carry two persons only and any extra load it is made to haul may result…
