Sir, While there was footpath on the eastern side of Vishwamanava Double Road in Saraswathipuram, on the western side there was no footpath as it is adjacent to a channel which serves as a drainage for rain water and other foul waters leading to nearby Kukkarahalli Lake. Since it was not provided with a footpath…

Sir, Since more than two months a couple of heavy duty vehicles are parked at the junction of First Main Road  and Gokulam Park Road, close to V.V. Mohalla Police Station, totally obstructing the view on either sides of these two roads. Apparently these vehicles were seized by V.V. Mohalla Traffic Police and may be…

Sir, It is so disheartening for not having footpath for pedestrians from Panchavati Circle towards Chandrakala Hospital on Kalidasa Road. Pedestrians spill over to roads with heavy traffic density posing a risk for their safety. Also, parking is allowed on both sides of the road leading to slow traffic and frequent traffic jams. Will the…

Sir, Apropos “Whither City Traffic?”, “Make K.T. Street pedestrian-friendly” (SOM dated June 23 and June 1) and so many allied  letters, anybody who moves in this stretch will have to suffer the same ordeal and even more. In addition, many name-boards hanging like typical  ‘Sword of Damocles’,  including the one erected by the City Corporation…

Sir, The reason for rejection of all 28 applications for new PU Colleges in city seems to be selective (SOM dated June 22). There are presently a number of PU Colleges  functioning in the city in apartment-like structures which do not meet the 2,000 sq mts or 4,000 sq mts without any hitch. Was the…

Sir, Mysuru city traffic is in utter chaos. Traffic signals, one way traffic and most of the No Parking Zones are just a namesake. Every major road corner is converted as auto stand, occupying both sides of the roads. Footpaths are display places for shops/ establishments and people are forced to use busy roads to…

Sir, Recently my friend’s father who is new to Mysuru was presumed to be missing, during his morning walk. Apart from his mother tongue, which is not Kannada, he is not conversant with any other language and was not carrying his mobile phone also. After a panic search for more than an hour, he was…

Sir, I recently visited RTO Mysore West to get my driving licence (DL) renewal done. I went there after initiating the application online, as prescribed by the current process. The online process allows us to initiate the application and also upload photograph and signature (that appears on the DL), with only the steps of paying…

Sir, In between MUDA and Ramaswamy Circle, Ramavilas Road connects Jhansi Laxmibai Road. This is a one-way which is frequently used by all law-abiding motorists. Since Ramavilas Road is one-way and Chamaraja stretch (100 ft.) is a Double Road, entry is prohibited from East to West on both roads. This junction is upslope making the…

Sir, Every time during my morning walks with Prof. B. Sheik Ali, I walk on the footpath separated by steel fence adjacent to the University of Mysore Guest House and I see a lot of construction materials lying on the lawn. Since it has been lying in this state for many years, grass and other…
