Sir, There is heavy traffic movement around Deve Gowda Circle at Siddartha Layout, with heavy trucks passing through this junction. Also, there are no road humps or signal lights or Traffic Police to patrol the busy junction. This leads to frequent accidents at the Circle. Will the authorities concerned install road humps or traffic signal…
Sir, The connecting Road to Roopanagar through SBM Employees Layout via Bogadi-Gaddige Main road is crying for repairs since years.

Sir, A visit to RTO at Shaktinagar indicates that a lot is required to improve the basic facilities at this place frequented by people of all ages.

Sir, I fully endorse the suggestion by Vasanth (SOM dated July 26) on introducing circular bus routes without touching CBS. As of now, it appears that the concerned are just following the traditional method of increasing frequency of buses depending on the commuters without exploring other options. Unless they travel regularly to different parts of…
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra in yesterday’s SOM was a remarkable recollection of Economic and Political Weekly (EPW). My introduction to the magazine came in early 1970s when I was a student at the Central College in Bangalore studying B.A Economics (Honours). During one of the debates in the campus, a senior of mine was extracting content…
Sir, With reference to the traffic issues at schools published in this column (SOM dated July 25), I would like to add some more points on the safety of school children at their schools.
