Sir, The Mysuru – Mayiladuthurai Superfast (SF) train (16232) operated between the originating station and Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna (KSR) Bengaluru Railway Station has many flaws. Though scheduled to stop only at three stations en route (Mandya, Maddur and Kengeri), it frequently stops at Hejjala and/ or Bidadi also, that too for longer durations — reasons…

Sir, The jersey barriers should be installed from Maharani’s College to Marigudi Junction on Valmiki Road, near Regional Commissioner’s official residence, with “No Parking” restrictions. The barriers will stop the speeding motorcycle riders (boys) moving recklessly on this road during college hours in the morning and evening, with one or two having modified silencers producing…

Sir, I am a resident of Yadavagiri and my movement is restricted to Vontikoppal, Gokulam and such other places nearby. Today, I happened to visit the sub-urban bus stand and had to wait for sometime to pick up a relative visiting from Chennai. But I got very shocked on seeing the pitiable state of the…

Sir, This is further to the letter, “Dogs in Parks: Suggestions”, by Dr. Usha Srinath of Saraswathipuram in Star of Mysore dated Apr. 19. As a dog lover and proud owner of four dogs, I am sad to say there is no place where I can walk my dogs safely in Mysuru. The past week…

Sir, Today, while I was waiting (in the evening around 8 pm) in the opposite side of the pre-paid auto stand near KSRTC bus stand, Mysuru, it was observed that there were hardly any autorickshaws coming to this counter and many people were waiting for autos to go their homes after their long journey. But,…

Sir, I request KSRTC to operate more city buses from City Railway Station to Vivekanandanagar, Ramakrishnanagar, Dattagalli, Sharadadevinagar, BEML Layout etc., via Kuvempunagar, coinciding with train arrivals. It not only benefits the public but also fetches more revenue to KSRTC. It will also avoid heavy rush at the pre-paid auto counters. Right now, people are…

Sir, Mysuru city has been adjudged the cleanest medium city in Karnataka in Swachh Survekshan 2022 rankings. But our city is not completely clean because of the foul smell emanating from storm water drains. The name storm water itself implies that the drain is meant to drain off rain water only but here sewage water…

Sir, This is to bring to the notice of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner on how a citizen struggles to get the due services from the local body. A UGD pipe cracked during a work by MCC on sixth main Subhashnagar, next to house no. 47 and is overflowing into the storm water drain, causing…

Sir, As the election is approaching we see the re-asphalting of major roads within the city being done in a hurry.  But what about the innumerable smaller roads inside the layouts that come off the other side of the Ring Road ? The terrible conditions of these roads inside the Bank Colony, Railway Colony, Bapuji…

Sir, It has been a welcome move by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) to asphalt the roads across Mysuru. However, it must be taken into consideration to install road humps at all major junctions and intersections leading to cross-roads. Especially, the Adichunchanagiri Road from Apollo BGS Hospitals to the junction near Agarwal Eye Hospital has been…
