Sir, After reading the initiative taken by Deputy Commissioner D. Randeep, who is also the Dasara Special Officer and KBG’s column on the subject (SOM dated Aug. 19) constituting an Audit and Accounts Committee to monitor and micro-manage Dasara Budget, my memory took me back to 30 years when I was appointed as Dasara Special…
Sir, Apropos our PM Narendra Modi’s Mann ki Baat programme, we have been facilitating people listen to the talk by arranging big speakers, chairs to sit and erecting shamiana in public places. For two consecutive times previously, while listening to Mann ki Baat we faced a common problem — thanks to power cut by CESC….
Sir, Apropos the letter titled “Will CESC fix spacers to overhead lines? (SOM dated Aug. 3), it is observed some elements are not only encroaching public footpaths with permanent fixtures and barbed wires making the hapless public, specially children and senior citizens, direct targets to fast moving vehicles on roads but also growing coconut and…
Sir, It is with immense pleasure and satisfaction I am sharing with you my experience at the Post Office Passport Seva Kendra (POPSK), Mysuru on 16th August 2017 regarding the services offered to us vide online applications of me and my wife, both dated 13th August 2017 for passports.

Sir, Headlights, why do we use them? To increase our visibility to other drivers and avoid hazards, it’s important to switch headlights according to the weather and the time of day while being mindful of other drivers.

Sir, Our Chief Minister, during his recent visit to Sri Chamarajendra Zoological Gardens, popularly known as Mysuru Zoo, showed interest in Night Safari.

They are living beings, they too have life….
Sir, This has reference to your recent Editorial tilted, “Thought for Food.” It was indeed very commendable that you referred to Dr. K.T. Achaya. I deem it an honour to have known him and discussed lipid nutrition several times. Dr. Achaya was a gentle giant — gentle as he was soft spoken, giant because of…
Sir, This is in response to the news item titled “MUDA seeks NRN’s help” (SOM dated Aug.9). My morning routine of fetching milk gets me walking down 3rd Cross, V.V. Mohalla, past ‘Kowmudi,’ the very simple yet very beautiful house of Dr. N.R. Narayana Murthy (NRN), but the Avenue itself is very ordinary. It is…
Sir, Some two-wheeler riders/ pillions in Mysuru do not wear helmets and instead they carry them (to avoid being penalised by police, if caught) either on their lap or hold them in one hand while use the other hand to ride in a risky way. On the other hand, we find the Police who are…
Sir, I agree with the views of MRG Murthy (SOM dated Saturday, 12th August) that medians built on a majority of roads are more of a nuisance than a means to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. In case of an emergency situation, manoeuvrability becomes a casualty. I have seen in New York that barricades…
