Sir, The areas in and around Vijayanagar Water Tank are in complete shambles. Roads are ripped off for more than a year now. The Park stretch between Vidyavardhaka Engineering College and temporary food street is in a neglected condition with overgrown shrubs and the place used as open urinals. By-lanes near the area are make-shift…

Sir, Now almost all commercial establishments welcome their customers with a hand sanitiser  — either pedal-operated or hand-pressed.  In some establishments it is seen that the pedal-operated  sanitiser  will have the sanitiser  container fixed to the frame of the machine, which is correct and safe.  But in some places the sanitiser container is not fixed…

Sir, It is annoying to note innumerable times that Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC), Mysuru Division, is resorting to frequent power shutdown with just one day prior press notice in newspapers and through SMS to consumer’s mobile phone for emergency maintenance works. This is causing inconvenience for domestic and small and medium industries in and…

Sir, It is noticed that many goods vehicles fix an extra heavy rod behind their vehicles to act as an accident barrier. This may protect the vehicles from severe damage in case the vehicles are hit from the rear side. Most of these rods mask the registration number plate of the vehicles and in case…

Sir, It was sad to read the death of a pillion rider in a recent road accident near Siddalingapura on Bengaluru-Mysuru Highway (Star of Mysore dated Dec.3), when a car hit their two-wheeler from behind. The head of the pillion hit the median resulting in injury.  It is not clear from the report whether the…

Sir, With reference to the pictorial report ‘No solution in sight…’ (SOM dated Dec.2), it’s high time that the District Administration and MCC impound the stray cattle as the menace continues. Helmet-less riders are fined, but riders with helmet are becoming the victims of freak accidents when they face stray cattle right in the middle…

Sir,  It is with deep pain and concern that we, the honest tax paying Mysureans, do read in the columns of two successive issues of Star of Mysore (Nov. 28 and 29) about MCC’s helplessness in recovering the tariff dues of Rs. 202.00 crores from the defaulters and then about the proposed hike of 50%….
