Sir, It is very heartening to know that the South Western Railway (SWR), Mysuru Division, has undertaken many developmental works at Ashokapuram Railway Station. This Station has been placed on the backyards of the famous Railway Workshop and is being used to park the trains which come for repair, overhauling reconstruction as well as dismantling….

Sir, This refers to the article titled “End of the tale of two stalwarts” by Dr. Javeed Nayeem in Star of Mysore dated Nov.27. It was a very interesting and heart-touching article that spoke about the relationship between the Guru and Shishya — what is described as Guru-Shishya Parampare — at a time when this…

Sir, Most of the vehicles on the road running between AIISH (All India Institute of Speech and Hearing) signal and Manasagangothri Gate move at a very high speed and it is very difficult and also dangerous to take a right turn towards Maruthi temple road (near JSS boys hostel).  Hence, we the citizens request the…

Sir, I had been an avid walker at the Hebbal Lake in the mornings. I have to say that compared to all the other Lakes in Mysuru, this place feels the safest to walk in with the presence of security guards and also well-maintained pathways. Due to some unavoidable circumstances, I am unable to go…

Sir, This is with reference to the report titled “Muda to build Peripheral Ring Road” in SOM dated Nov.23. The existing Outer Ring Road built years ago still hasn’t been completed to become a 21st century motorable road ! As a regular traveller on this road, I can say without doubt that the condition of…

Sir, Read the news item that MUDA is going to build the Peripheral Ring Road (PRR), claiming Mysuru is growing exponentially (SOM dated Nov. 23). But the short-sightedness of MUDA is in planning to build a 45 ft width  x 73.25 kms (up to 120 km) long road. Why not a 90 ft width road…

Sir, Is MUDA’s proposed Peripheral Ring Road project the need of the hour? What must be the response of people’s representatives for citizens’ problems? Will this new road help general public to the benefit of all? Why not give a thought for faster public transport to ease movement of people at low cost and speed?…

Sir, This refers to the news item titled ‘Police intensify drive against traffic violators’ in yesterday’s Star of Mysore. Checking traffic offenders is fine but please do not harass office-goers during peak hours. This is my suggestion to the Police who are bent upon intensifying the drive against traffic violators. I for one do not…

Sir, The stretch from Seth Mohandas Tulsidas Hospital on JLB Road till NIE College is replete with potholes and road humps. With all kinds of vehicles plying on this road and many schools and colleges in the vicinity, this road is always busy and yet maintained in a pathetic state. Will the concerned ever look…
