Sir, This photo of overflowing garbage in Vontikoppal speaks volumes about the indifference of Mysureans to keep our city clean. On one hand we have several high-level committee meetings, call by Heads of various religions, participation by committed NGOs, marches by students etc., to create awareness on keeping city clean. Why are all such efforts…
Sir, Apropos the letter titled “Eradicate stray dog menace” (SOM dated 29.11.2017), the MCC staff have visited the spot at Subhashnagar on 9.12.2017 and captured the unsterilised dogs.

Sir, In spite of continuous monitoring by the Traffic Police to inculcate some sort of discipline to the undisciplined road-users, we still find a lot of blatant traffic rule violations — one violation being the registration number plate of the vehicles.
