Sir, I want to bring to the notice of all the readers that we have seen some really rash driving on the Ring Road of our city. With lockdown restrictions and empty roads, youngsters have taken to Ring Road to showcase their senseless thirst for speed.  I have, in the past one week, noticed three…

Sir, I had recently written about non-functioning of street light in Income Tax Layout, Mysuru, for the past ten days. Today afternoon, this repair work was attended to by the authorities providing much relief to the residents. I take this opportunity to thank the authorities for redressing the grievance and also ‘SOM’ for highlighting the…

Sir, I wish to appeal to the authorities of Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and the Corporators to adopt latest technology to conserve electricity wasted daily through thousands of street lights not being switched off well in time. It is strange to observe several street lights burning well after sunrise. In these summer days, sunrise is…

Sir, Having side-view mirrors on both sides of a two-wheeler or four-wheeler is essential to know the vehicles coming behind.

Sir, This refers to the letter titled “Power billing: Yes, CESC is cheating gullible public” (SOM dated June 1, 2020). I also felt initially that my bill of Rs.4,267.59 for two months was very high. Last month, an ad-hoc bill for Rs. 1,233 was raised, maybe based on previous average consumption, since meter reading was…

Sir,  It is very sad that we have lost a great human being and an expert pathologist who served millions of patients in and around Mysuru District with the punctuality of a rising Sun, for more than half a century.  He was the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ in the field of Investigative Pathology and Microbiology.   A few…

Sir, This has reference to the continuous news regarding exorbitant power bills being received by Mysureans while the innocent public are already tottering with the never before seen effect of the pandemic.  CESC readily has all the required information of their consumers’ power utilisation pattern at their fingertips. They have: Billing and Payment History, Consumption…
