Sir, As the rail traffic is slowly back on track now, I appeal to South Western Railway (SWR) to restart a few more trains on Mysuru – Nanjangud – Chamarajanagar route. Especially, there is urgent need for a trip between Mysuru – Nanjangud at around 9 pm every day; take a halt at Nanjangud and…

Sir, When ideology intrudes, art suffers. That appears to be the disturbing development in which the present Rangayana Director Addanda Cariappa finds himself when a coterie of vested interests seem to be determined to throwing a spanner into the excellent work of all round effort in the field of theatre and art in Rangayana. Of…

Sir, The recent spell of intermittent rains has no doubt increased the water level in Kukkarahalli Lake, but simultaneously contributed to the unbridled growth of common water hyacinth in the lake which has engulfed a large portion of the water surface (see pic). Ironically, this lake used to be a source of water supply to…

Sir, The road from Nazarbad Police Station Circle to Nandini Parlour is in a very horrible and pathetic condition. This is an important road connecting to Bannur, T.Narasipur, M.M. Hills and Kollegal. Besides, lot of residential areas like Siddartha Layout, Alanahalli, Teachers Layout, new DC Office are linked by this road that is full of…

Sir, The efforts of authorities concerned in stopping encroachment of footpaths by roadside vendors is laudable. However, the menace at Vedanta Hemmige Circle on New Kantharaj Urs Road is becoming unbearable leading to accidents. Almost 70 percent of the road is occupied by vehicles who stop to eat at roadside food stalls on the footpath….

Sir, The sewer system in Gayathripuram is faulty and not constructed properly. We face problems daily as the sewer overflows and blocks every time even when there is a little rain.
