Sir, The recent protest, led by Corporator K.V. Sridhar, has raised a very valid point with regard to the potential danger for motorists, especially two-wheel drivers to negotiate the Underpass at Mysuru-Arasikere Railway track close to Royal Inn Junction on KRS Road (SOM dated Aug. 5). The approach road is of four lanes while the…
Water mafia at Chamundi Hill?
August 11, 2022Sir, There are three drinking water dispensers near Chamundi Hill temple but devotees can never find water in them. Then they have to purchase water bottles. It appears that people responsible to fill these dispensers are colluding with shopkeepers that sell dubious brands of water bottles near the temple. Even cinema halls and airports have…
More on woes of train travellers
August 10, 2022Sir, I fully endorse the views of C.M. Rajendra in SOM dated Aug.3 on abnormal shunting of trains on the outskirts. Most passengers have experienced this not only on the ones entering Mysuru city but on the return direction too (Kengeri, Nayandahalli and at a little distance before KSR Bengaluru). Chamundi Express (morning) and Mayiladuthurai…
KSRTC driver-cum-conductor risking passengers’ safety
August 9, 2022Sir, Last Monday (1st August) I happened to travel by KSRTC (Karnataka Sarige) non-stop bus from Mysuru to Bengaluru at around 5.40 am. I religiously took my ticket from the non-stop counter and boarded the designated bus. The bus was yet to be filled and the driver was calling out for collecting the passengers in…
Plea to repair this dug up street
August 8, 2022Sir, In the month of April our cross road was completely dug up to replace drainage pipes during which all our water connections, telephone connections were damaged by the JCB and we got that repaired at our own expense. Now even after 4 months the road is not relaid leaving heaps of mud which has…
Poor quality of road repair results in potholes again
August 7, 2022Sir, Consequent upon publishing of my letter in this column twice some months ago, the authorities came up with tarring of a portion of the road (3rd A Cross, in front of Sukrutha PU College) in Dattagalli which was damaged because of movement of trucks loaded heavily with M-sand, bricks and stones that are dumped,…
Four spiritual paths and four pillars of democracy
August 6, 2022Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Swami Vivekananda’s vision for future of India, as I understand -1” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore made an interesting read. I was reminded of the famous saying “Ninnannu neenu tilidiko/tiddiko, ade neenu jagattige maadabahudaada dodda seve” by Swami Shivananda. I was also reminded of Swami Vivekananda’s famous saying that, “So long…
Four spiritual paths and four pillars of democracy
August 6, 2022Sir, This refers to KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Swami Vivekananda’s vision for future of India, as I understand -1” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore. Just like Swami Vivekananda gave four spiritual paths for our salvation, after Independence the Constitution has given four pillars to our country to stand firmly on them democratically so that all Indians…
Make two-way traffic rule at Ring Road Under-bridges
August 5, 2022Sir, The recent tragic accident on Outer Ring Road (ORR), near GRS Fantasy Park, where a woman was fatally knocked down by a trailer lorry is an eye-opener to all. ORR has many Railway Under-bridges, which incidentally has only one pass through, due to which service roads attached therein are incomplete for want of another…
