Sir, With the recent conversion of Chamarajanagar-Tirupathi- Chamarajanagar trains (16219 and 16220) from Fast Passenger to Express mode, we expected positive changes in service too, but there is none. Journey time remains the same post-conversion also and the number of halts enroute has’nt reduced either. Added to this, unreserved passengers get into the reserved compartments…
Sir, It was a very pleasant surprise for us today when myself and my wife visited the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) in Metagalli Post Office, Mysuru, by an appointment at 2.30 pm. We were there by 1.45 pm; the actual work on our applications started by 2.15 pm and by 2.35 pm the complete process…
Sir, Railways is in the news for all the wrong reasons these days. Recently I travelled by Tipu Express to Bengaluru. The coaches were dirty and uninviting. When do we catch up with the swanky trains we see in the West and other developed countries? As the train moved, a Ticket Examiner entered our coach…
Sir, KSOU has been in the news in recent days. On Sept. 28, Higher Education Minister announced the possible closing of KSOU. On Oct. 2, former Education Minister S.A. Ramdas assured the students of KSOU that he would not allow its closure. However, neither of them have announced how they would come to the help…
Sir, With reference to the recent letter titled “Whither Hawkers’ Zones?” by SOM reader Mirza, I would like to bring to the attention of authorities concerned and public that in Darjeeling a separate street was established for hawkers to do their business and it is one of the tourists’ attractions there. After all, they also…
Sir, Indeed our KSRTC has a very skilled fleet of drivers who have proved their ability to drive along some of the most challenging roads in and out of Karnataka. But as I have noticed and heard from many people, the bus drivers of KSRTC (Suvarna Karnataka Sarige and Airavat) are highly impatient on highways…
Sir, The Higher Education Minister has stated on Thursday (Sept. 28) that the State government was considering closure of KSOU more than four years after cancellation of its recognition by UGC. Every private University in the country thrives. The State and the Centre being governed by different political parties seems to have come in the…
Sir, KSRTC route bus numbers 129 and 135 used to ply through Manasagangothri campus touching the library-stop quite smoothly for decades. This was a great help to PG students and commuters to and fro the University. But for the last two years the said buses have stopped operating through the campus causing inconvenience to staff…
Sir, There is no lighting facility at Mysuru City J.P. Nagar Goblimara bus stop and it is pitch dark after 7 pm. This is a prime locality and the city bus facility starts at 5 am and end by 11 pm. I request the authorities concerned as well as organisations maintaining the bus shelter to…
Sir, Post-doubling, the design of Pandavapura Station seems to have gone wrong. All the Bengaluru-bound trains have to enter the loop-line as the main line does not have a platform. All the Express and Passenger trains have to enter this loop-line which results in significant delay. Prior to doubling, 5 years back, Express trains used…
