Sir, Dogs are considered as man’s best companion and a loyal friend. But we find discrimination here too. Dogs that are considered pedigree are taken home and taken care of while other dogs are considered strays and left to fend for themselves on the street. The condition of stray dogs is pathetic not only in…

Sir, I would like to bring to your kind attention that there is no direct bus connectivity from Srirampura to Vijayanagar or Bogadi or J.P. Nagar or Ramakrishnanagar. It would be helpful, if it is provided as Srirampura also happens to be a well-populated area. – S.N.Sowmya, Srirampura, 4.2.2019 You can also mail us your…

Sir, I am a resident of Ramakrishnanagar ‘H’ Block. It’s been almost 6 months or more that the street-light just opposite to my residence is not working.

There are many families who are directly or indirectly depended for their livelihood with the income generated by working in these two buildings. It is sheer foolishness on…

Sir, I wish to share my experience on the state of bus shelters, after going through the article “Shelters miss the bus” (SOM dated Jan. 19) and the letter “Build clean shelters that will last long” (SOM dated Jan.29). There is a bus shelter near Geetha School, Siddarthanagar. The shelter does not have paved floor…

Sir, Road safety is grossly being ignored by citizens of the city. Carrying big objects on two-wheelers is not advisable in terms of their safety and other road users’ safety. Still people are carrying big plants, wooden logs, fibre doors, etc., on two-wheelers by placing it across the vehicle. Recently it has been seen that…

Sir, Some of the parks in our city have become dog sanctuaries. I am attaching a picture taken at Kukkarahalli Lake sometime back. The sight of a pack of dogs going together is scary and it is a nightmare for morning and evening walkers. A single bite can infect the victim with rabies and its…
