Sir, During my recent visit to shops on Sayyaji Rao Road, I came across missing tiles on the footpath at various places.  I wonder how the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has been so careless and not fixed this for days! This can be extremely dangerous for walking public, especially after dark. Hopefully, the MCC authorities…

Sir, Of late many of the two-wheelers and four-wheelers, especially the vehicles driven by the youngsters have additional stroboscopic lights of Chinese make.  The flickering effect of these lights causes disturbance and even cause physiological effects such as headaches, to other road users. When the vehicles fitted with such stroboscopic lights are ahead of us,…

Sir, The front page headline “No Dormitory for Patients’ attendants at Cheluvamba Hospital” was  indeed a sad reading (SOM dated  Sept.19).  The appalling condition of those who happened to be nearby villagers accompanying the pregnant women (for delivery) is pathetic. On behalf of the welfare of the general public,  I request individuals, business houses, corporates…

Sir, Further to recent letters in this column regarding payment of house tax, I wanted to share my experience in this regard. Myself along with my father who is a senior citizen went to the MCC office at Yadavagiri to pay house tax. We went promptly at 10.15 am.  There was only one official at…

Sir, I had written about this problem earlier also.

In this regard, I had suggested a scheme in which MCC would formulate a programme of inviting local residents to…

Sir, With reference to payment of property tax, I would like to share my experience at MCC Zonal Office in Sharadadevinagar. On Sept.22, I visited the Office at 10 am with a photocopy of last year’s tax paid receipt. I was rightly directed to a very right staff.  He looked into my receipt, offered a…

Sir,  When the whole world is facing Coronavirus pandemic, it is surprising that the Government of Karnataka is holding preliminary meetings to conduct Dasara Festival. Till recently there was lockdown in the whole of India but now there is some relaxation of curbs mainly to revive the growth rate in the economy. There is a…

Sir, I was walking near Jaganmayi-Tanmayi Park close to my house in Kuvempunagar on Aug. 26 evening when a person came in the two-wheeler from behind and snatched my mobile phone. I screamed for help but there was no one around. I even tried to chase him but in vain. So I immediately called the…

Sir, Apropos the news item “City Traffic Police installs median reflectors, road reflector studs” (Star of Mysore dated Sept.11), kudos to City Traffic Police for initiating the installation of median reflectors and road reflector studs. Medians erected on many of the roads are not visible during night hours. Installation of these median reflectors is a…
