Sir, Apropos “City remembers Mahatma” (SOM dated Oct. 2), it is really sad to note that the city has completely forgotten late Lal Bahadur Shastri, the finest Prime Minister India has ever had, whose birth anniversary also falls on 2nd October ! While extensive news coverage is given to various events to mark Gandhiji’s birth…
Open field crying for attention
October 8, 2020Sir, The open field adjacent to Mathrumandali Special School in Gokulam II Stage has become a nuisance for us (senior citizens) as both humans and animals (including pets) use the space as urinals.

Pay and Park need of the hour on D.D. Urs Road

Missing tiles on Sayyaji Rao Road footpath
October 3, 2020Sir, During my recent visit to shops on Sayyaji Rao Road, I came across missing tiles on the footpath at various places.

Vehicles fitted with fancy lights disturbs motorists
October 2, 2020Sir, Of late many of the two-wheelers and four-wheelers, especially the vehicles driven by the youngsters have additional stroboscopic lights of Chinese make.

When the vehicles fitted with such stroboscopic lights are ahead of us,…
Dormitory facility at Cheluvamba Hospital: A suggestion
October 1, 2020Sir, The front page headline “No Dormitory for Patients’ attendants at Cheluvamba Hospital” was indeed a sad reading (SOM dated Sept.19).

On behalf of the welfare of the general public, I request individuals, business houses, corporates…
