Sir, Dasara is fast approaching. We aspire for more and more visitors, including foreigners. We want them to enjoy and appreciate a cleanest city, Mysuru. But look at how ugly the garbage collecting autos appear first thing in the morning. The picture above is from Ramakrishnanagar First Main. The same is the story in other…
Sir, Recently I re-read the 1958 R.K. Narayan’s classic novel “The Guide” and also watched on YouTube the 1965 Dev Anand’s film of the same name. The book is an all-time best- seller as it has had nearly 80 reprints and the film, of course, was a box office super hit. I remember seeing the…
Sir, A look at the present condition of Nanjangud’s two major roads (RP Road and MGS Road) is highly horrifying. Work on replacing age-old open drainage with the box-type ones is on. One side of the road is already dug but the excavated loose earth is haphazardly dumped at the very centre, blocking traffic movement…
Sir, Your photo-news titled, “It’s PoP culture! Hopes of Green Ganesha Sink” (Star of Mysore dated Sept. 2) will sadden not only environmentalists but also those who believe in the rule of law. The Deputy Commissioner had conducted the meeting on this subject two weeks back and urged the citizens not to immerse non-green Ganesha…
Sir, I would like to draw the attention of Railway authorities regarding the following problems faced by the passengers in the parking lots of Mysuru Junction, specially at the CFTRI side. There is no proper lighting arrangement in the parking lot. We have to depend upon the lights of booking office building. As a result…
Sir, It is four years since the Roads and Cross Roads in Gangothri Layout were dug for laying deep sewerage pipes and till today we have been living with those bumpy pothole roads. Disgustingly they were filling the potholes with mud. The Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) and the area Corporator are answerable to the tax-payers…
Sir, I am a resident of Shakthinagar, 7th A Cross, 4th Main. Here, the small little tempo which is supposed to collect our home waste is highly irregular and untimely! Sometimes, it doesn’t come even for one week and if it comes, it is already overloaded and waste keeps dropping all the way it goes….
Sir, Toll Plazas are collecting excess amount than the prescribed amount by the government. Last week, we were travelling from Mysuru to Bijapur through NH 50 and NH 04 in car. To our surprise, the toll rates they were collecting is more than Re 1.1 per km for cars and in some cases it is…
Sir, It is highly regrettable to bring to the notice of MCC authorities that a pack of about twenty street dogs have made the University Sports Pavilion their inhabitant place. Almost all the dogs together disturb the children who come for sports training. As the training starts from 6 am, children running around the pavilion…
Sir, Reading Dr. Javeed Nayeem’s article “A Tale of Three Conferences!” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore, I was simply intrigued by the play of fate in each individual’s life. If one is good, providence returns that goodness multifold. The father of the girl-child with congenital defect in her heart was lucky to have Dr. Javeed…
