Sir, I have been observing that Mysuru’s vehicular traffic is on the rise since 10 years. There are several traffic signals which have come up due to increased traffic at different junctions. Prior to traffic signals at these junctions, there were road humps to control the speed of vehicles. But when a new traffic signal…
Several signal lights that have been installed to regulate the rising traffic in the city are not working. These signals have been erected and solar panels have been attached to them to provide energy. Many such signal lights in busy areas including the ones at Freedom Fighter Vedanta Hemmige Circle, MUDA Circle and New Kantharaj…
Sir, A number of letters have appeared in Star of Mysore regarding rampant traffic violations in the city. What is intriguing is the silence on the part of the authorities concerned. The cops and home guards are lax in their duties. They will always be busy on their mobile phones. Majority of the home guards…
Sir, Recently, a news item titled “No Helmet ? No Insurance? Then No Vehicle” in SOM drew my attention largely because for the first time we have heard about some kind of a deterrent to send the message home that you can’t always get away with all the traffic violations. I personally wish to congratulate…
Sir, I have been writing in this column about the mobile menace of motorists. It is unfortunate that no concrete steps are taken by the stakeholders to control this menace. Of late, we see every second person on a bike or driving a car with the mobile stuck to his / her ear. Such practice…
Sir, I would like to bring it to the attention of the Traffic Police, the brazen disregard and violation of zebra crossing by vehicle-users. One such example we have seen time and again is at the Premier Studio junction. The Traffic Police stand on the SJCE road just about 10 feet away from the signal…
Sir, Apropos the letter titled Check rampant traffic violations by Dr. Vijayendra (SOM dated Mar.18), I have posted my comment on the Police web-page concerning the safety of small children when they are being carried on two-wheelers without any safety belt. There is no action by the Traffic Police regarding this issue. Simple advice by…
Sir, We received a Traffic offence notice by the Police based on a ‘Public Eye’ photo sent to them about our car registration number plate bearing three digits, terming it as ‘defective’ and asking us to pay a fine of Rs.100 which we paid at V.V.Mohalla Traffic Police and promptly got it changed to four…
Sir, It is not clear how to consider the news of city Traffic Police collecting Rs.7.13 lakh as fine from violators in just three days (Star of Mysore dated Mar. 5), that too only in certain areas of the city. Whether it is efficiency of the Traffic Cops to have rigorous checks or the inability…
Sir, This has reference to a report on the above matter in SOM dated 11.2.2017. I have been following up this matter with the Traffic Police in Mysuru for the last five years. Initially, I used to raise this matter in monthly meetings but stopped attending the meetings as it proved futile. I have not…
