Sir, Recently, another Vande Bharat Express train was started from Mysuru at 6 am. It was published in SOM that Vande Bharat is of little use to the common man and a Jan Shatabdi or Amrit Bharat Express should be started instead. Mysuru is considered a garage and a cleaning station. Due to the lack…
Kaveri 2.0 not user-friendly
July 24, 2024Sir, I needed an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) for my house property. Finding that Kaveri 2.0 software provides the opportunity to obtain the same online, I decided to employ it.

Some thoughts on MP’s cleaning drive
July 19, 2024Sir, I appreciate the initiative taken by our MP Yaduveer Wadiyar and others in cleaning Kukkarahalli Lake and its surroundings recently.

Solution to alleviate traffic snarls at Sub-Urban Bus Stand
July 18, 2024Sir, I am writing to propose a solution to the persistent traffic congestion around our city’s Sub-Urban Bus Stand, particularly during peak hours. The limited space at the existing Bus Stand, which serves as a hub for buses bound for many districts across Karnataka, is a primary issue. Overcrowding of buses and passengers has made…
