Sir, If I may recall, the then Mandya DC Dr. Ajay Nagabhushan had abolished the parking fee at Sangama following several complaints of harassment and over-charging. Every one heaved a sigh of relief, particularly those who went there to immerse the ashes of their dear departed ones. Recently I went to Srirangapatna to perform the…

Sir, I am a resident of Manasa Castle Apartment, Hinkal and it is a shame for me to tell that demolished building debris and other wastes are being dumped next to our apartment at Chanakana Kere grounds. Tractors were seen dumping loads of these building wastes. When notified MCC about the clearance of the debris,…

Sir, Cesc has provided 1912 phone number for the Central Complaints section to register power supply related complaints 24×7. It is a good service by the CESC to its consumers. But this telephone will become very busy when there is total power supply failure in a feeder which feeds thousands of houses in an extension…

Sir, I fully agree with Dr. S. V. N. Vijayendra when he says that signal jumping is on the rise in Mysore of late (SOM dated May 18). AIISH Circle is not the only junction where this happens. Of late, we see such violations in every junction across Mysuru.  Strength of Traffic Policemen in the…

Sir, Apropos Narasimha Murthy’s letter in SOM dated May 17 which focusses on a very important issue, I would like to add up one more thing. The accidents occurred on the other side of the Hunsur Road. The vehicles hit the tree which is on the curve. The tree which was about five feet away…

Sir, Time and again readers have expressed traffic problems near Vijayanagar Water Tank. To make the situation worse, now the Circle opposite SBM is creating utter chaos as vehicles coming from Vijayanagar Water Tank towards K.D. Road, from Abhishek Circle, from K.D. Road and from Karnataka Bank, all get stuck here, thus making the pedestrian…

Sir, Deliberate signal jumping and not following the lane discipline, that is, driving on the other side of the road divider, especially at the Circles, has become quite common in city. In a recent incident, I have noticed a narrow escape from a head-on collision between a scooter and bike near AIISH Circle on Bogadi…

Sir, At last the deadly steep curve on Hunsur Road near Jaladarshini Guest House, which was prone to frequent accidents, was made available for public use after bringing some engineering changes like road widening followed by introducing some revised road design parameters aimed at increased safety of vehicle riders. At the same time, the environmentalists’…

Sir, There is a stretch of around 100 mtrs near SBR Mohan Jewellery Hall on Ashoka Road restricted for parking by the disabled. Since we shop-keepers are already running short of parking space on Ashoka Road and as most of our customers are shying away from our shops, we request the authorities concerned to remove…

Sir, Though Traffic Police of Mysuru are putting their best efforts in nabbing and curbing all sorts of traffic rules violators and violations, one group of violators are still going scot-free. The autorickshaws with Kerala registration number cannot be penalised by city Traffic Police even if they blatantly violate all the rules, even when the…
