Sir, Following the cooker bomb blast case in Mangaluru recently and with the Police zeroing in on the house of the suspected youth with terror-links in Metagalli, all vehicles entering Mysuru are being checked at all the entry points by noting down  the vehicle number, name of the driver, their mobile number etc.  This is…

Sir, Years have gone by and the problem of tourist parking has not been solved yet by the Mysuru Zoo authorities. Every year lakhs of tourists visit Zoo and just to save a minimum parking money, they park their vehicles in every other street, in front of our homes and then argue with us! I…

Sir, I recently travelled to Bengaluru from Mysuru in Wodeyar SF Express (AC-C1) and my experience was pathetic. The coach has been maintained very badly and we could see so many cockroaches freely crawling near and behind the window curtains which are close to the seats. The bathrooms, both Western and Indian, were in a…

Sir, On behalf of the train travellers, I request the Railways to extend Varanasi-Mysuru Bi-Weekly  Superfast Express upto Mangaluru since there is no direct train between Mangaluru and Varanasi. Also it will benefit people traveling from Mysuru, Kalaburagi, Yadgir, Raichur, Ballari and Chitradurga upto Mangaluru. During festive season and tourist season, this train covers almost…

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…
