Sir, With reference to the traffic issues at schools published in this column (SOM dated July 25), I would like to add some more points on the safety of school children at their schools.

Sir, 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….

The authorities chose the hard option of promulgating the helmet- rule…
Sir, Apropos a series of letters which are painful to read regarding traffic violations ‘Even foreign students don’t fear Indian Laws or its Lawmen!’ (Star of Mysore dated Feb. 4), teachers, elders and the Police are there to enforce the law sometimes (if necessary) through force, punishment or fines, to make the society disciplined. This…
