Road from Siddartha Layout to Varuna Lake be named as ‘Siddaramaiah Marga’
December 31, 2024Sir, Apropos the news item published in Star of Mysore dated Dec. 25, I wish to echo the sentiments of the general public that while naming a road after Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is a good and appropriate gesture, renaming an existing historic and heritage road is not.

An unwise move to erase heritage of Princess Road
December 26, 2024Sir, Heritage does not mean historic and aesthetic old structures. It comprises many other things that reflect our history and culture. Cultural heritage is a gift from the past.
