Sir, Apropos the news item “Commission to file cases against MCC, Zoo and Palace Board” (SOM dated Oct. 29), Pourakarmikas, who do all dirty, dangerous and back-breaking jobs are an exploited lot by the contractors and all sundry in the establishment. Flouting rules, it’s a shame that they’re made to work without masks, boots, hand…
Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the clogged drains diagonally opposite to Ashwini Kalyan Mantap in Srirampura which houses the MUDA allotted HIG houses. Water is stagnated in these drains which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects. Come another spell of rain, this area which…
Sir, It’s very disappointing to see such a beautiful stretch of 1.5 km Krishnaraja Boulevard being neglected and made as a Parthenium Park. The road houses many heritage buildings like Zilla Panchayat, Court Complex, Oriental Research Institute, Ursu Boarding School and Maharaja’s College. The entire median was well- maintained with lush green lawn and ornamental…
Sir, Kudos to SOM for bringing out a remarkable story about Dr. Seema Rao (SOM dated Oct. 29) who is a proud daughter of Mother India. Many may not have heard of this “Wonder woman” who avoids limelight. What surprises the readers of this interview is the dedication the lady displayed for more than two…
Sir, In spite of great efforts put in by the City Police Commissioner, his Deputy, Traffic ACP and his band of subordinates, I must confess that the Traffic Adalat held at the Police Bhavan on Lalitha Mahal Road recently was not a great success as it should have been. That is only because of the…
Sir, A few days back, I had been to Bengaluru to see one of my relatives who is in the hospital. It is really disgusting to see the pathetic condition of roads on the way to Bengaluru, especially after Maddur. It is a cumbersome exercise for the driver of the vehicle as most of the…
Sir, A few decades ago, medical doctors were like family friends, visiting patients at home and prescribe treatment. Later, with the increase of population and consequent rise in the ailing patients, due to various factors, the doctors have also started their strategy, by opening small clinics at suitable locations attracting patients, who wait in long…
Sir, In the last few months, I have been travelling to Chennai and other places frequently by train. Here I wish to share my experience regarding the battery car facility provided by the Railways to help the senior citizens, physically handicapped, patients and the infirm. On more than six occasions I tried to make use…
Sir, The two part Abracadabra titled ‘Google boss takes on NDTV Boss with elan’ (SOM dated Oct.22 and Oct.23) reminded me of the famous quote ‘Even though vanquished he could argue still’ by Oliver Goldsmith. This exactly indicates the predicament of NDTV chief Prannoy Roy who interviewed Sundar Pichai. Obviously, Prannoy Roy could not resist…
Sir, Many residents in various extensions of this heritage city brazenly encroach public space, thus inconveniencing the citizens. It is normal that many convert the open space in front of their homes as garden, reducing the space for road-users. In addition, vehicles are parked haphazardly in front of shops and other establishments. Vinaya Marga of…
