Sir, The recent posturing by the Tourism and Sericulture Minister against the MRC has been widely covered by the press and as a common citizen of Mysuru I was wondering whether the top priority of the Minister is to shut the racing activity and dismantling of horse stables or to address the rot that has…

Sir, If one wishes to have a glimpse of the hell, come straight to the temple town Nanjangud and take a ride (or even a walk) on the R.P. Road, one of the two ‘Raja Margas’ here.   The Road, haphazardly dug up a couple of years ago on the pretext of repair, still lies as…

Sir, The Mysore Race Club (MRC) is not troubling the people of Mysuru nor the people have any problem from MRC. Even if MRC is shifted and the place converted into a Botanical Garden, which is not required for the time being, it will become a “Lovers Point.” Moreover, the Government is getting lot of…

Sir, After reading a lot of positive reviews about the Passport Seva Kendra working at Metagalli Post Office, which is definitely a boon to the public in and around Mysuru, a couple of days back I went for my passport renewal. This office is still in its nascent stage only and needs lot of improvement…

Sir, Curiously, the very same day the Editorial on the status of Executive appeared in SOM dated June 14 (Burdensome babudom), I had an entirely different and a very pleasant experience with the RTO staff of Mysuru.
