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.

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…
Sir, It is a matter of regret that the KSRTC, rather its staff, look down upon the student-pass holders nowadays, restricting their travel to few specified buses only, rather than allow to commute in its entire fleet. This looks an utter discrimination. Is it because students avail concessional rates? Well, it is not a favour,…
Sir, This is in response to the letter written by my good friend Prof. B. Shivaraj under the heading “Plea to revive MUTA” (SOM dated Oct. 21). When I took over as the President of Mysore University Teachers Association (MUTA) it had already become a very weak body. We tried to revive it despite attempts…
Sir, The Manasagangothri campus had a rare and specific image of its own for long. In early seventies as students we were thrilled to be part of the campus. It never occurred to us that it needed some beautification to make us proud. Large shady trees in the sprawling campus with its own narrow walk…
