Sir, First, I would like to congratulate the organisers of Mysuru Winter Festival for the grand success of all the events including the Open Street Festival on Devaraja Urs Road. This event can be done regularly but not at the cost of the loss of business. My suggestion is that this Open Street event be…

Sir, Whoever is responsible for holding the Open Street Festival in the heart of the city is to be blamed. The people living in and around Urs Road were virtually under house arrest, what with vehicles parked anywhere and everywhere. All roads and bylanes were blocked. This was a punishment for people living around this…

Sir, This is with reference to KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Abuse of Law against our own meek people and Intelligence Agencies — Tale of two typical cases” (SOM dated Dec. 26). I want to write here the truth about the IB’s very existential status. The national security and security apparatus (Intelligence Agencies, IB) exists only in…

Sir, Railway Station is a public place and providing parking facility for the commuters is the responsibility of the Railway authorities. Unfortunately, there is no provision for car parking at Railway Station second gate (CFTRI side). They claim that the parking contract has been given to the highest bidder. Will the Railways check with the…

Sir, Time and again I wrote about the traffic congestion on the Bogadi Road (down Harsha Bar) towards the four-lane crossing which serves as a link road to colleges, schools and offices. Day by day the traffic seems to be heavy with office buses, school buses, two-wheelers and four-wheelers plying recklessly. There is no proper…

Sir, The present Mysuru – Chamarajanagar Railway Track passes very next to JP Nagar and JP Nagar last bus stop where the facility of city buses to Southern part of Mysuru, especially JP Nagar, Vishweshwaranagar, Vidyaranyapuram and Nanjumalige, is very good. But the nearest Halt Station at Ashokapuram doesn’t have any city bus connectivity nor…

Sir, As per Central Government orders, all Telecommunication companies including BSNL are insisting that the users must link Aadhaar number with their mobile number. As a user of a BSNL SIM, I went to the BSNL office to link my Aadhaar number. To my dismay, the system there did not accept my fingerprint. This may…

Sir, The building construction wastes are being dumped near the Park or roadside in M-Block, Kuvempunagar and almost every area of Mysuru. Mysuru City Corporation has got all the authority to penalise those  persons who are (constructing houses) dumping wastes near the public park or roadside which is causing health hazard. Hope the MCC will…

Sir, I would like to give a feedback to the District Authorities on the ongoing first Mysuru Winter Festival. The Musical Fountain at Kuppana Park was a non-starter at least on the first two days. There was not even enough lighting at the place; the traffic and the Circle leading to the Park was chaotic….

Sir, Lately, there has been an increase in the number of two-wheelers (especially scooters) on the road that do not have a rear number plate. While the Traffic Police seem to be busy with only catching riders without helmets, there seems to be an increase in other violations such as signal jumping and speaking on…
