Sir, I would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the encroachment of public space along busy stretch of Mahadevapura-Rammanahalli Main Road. The streets have turned narrow as shopkeepers expanded their stores onto sidewalks. Vendors place their wares on footpath and roadsides, severely inconveniencing pedestrians and two-wheelers on the main road. Many…

Sir, This is to let you know about the bad experience I had while travelling in an autorickshaw in the city recently. I boarded an autorickshaw near KSRTC Sub-urban bus stand and headed to a service apartment in JP Nagar. I had asked the auto driver to turn on the meter, rather than paying the…

Sir, Nowadays it is very difficult to pass through Deve Gowda Circle on Mysuru – Bannur Outer Ring Road (ORR) junction, particularly for women and senior citizens, who are facing serious problems in this junction as heavy motor vehicles and cars move recklessly on either way. There are no automatic signal  lights or speed breakers…

Sir, Of late, fans, friends and followers of politicians, irrespective of parties, have started erecting big flex boards at prominent Circles and corners of main roads in the city.

Profitable services in demand were shelved and unviable services like this are being planned  without any justification. Most of the days, Bengaluru- Mysuru-Kochi-Agathi  and back to Bengaluru in the same route was flying with…

Sir, With the increasing number of trains from Mysuru to other cities and vice-versa, there is a surge in the density of passengers who prefer to reach home thereafter in autorickshaws.  Earlier, the auto stand  including prepaid counter in front of the Railway Station premises was catering to the people.  However, these days, autorickshaws are…

Sir, I regularly use the underbridge road next to Railway Station on KRS Road in the city.  I have seen that vehicles coming to an automobile showroom nearby are parked on the roadside thus occupying the entire stretch of the road and thereby blocking free passage for pedestrians and vehicular users alike. Apart from it,…

Sir, Amid the works  on asphalting the road and painting the median, another civic body had dug up the road for repair work. This patch that will sure turn into a pothole is enough to further damage the easy access to the stretch of road, where St. Joseph’s School, Jayalakshmipuram, is located. When will our…
