Sir, It is heartening to learn about the various pro-people activities of Yuva Brigade, Nanjangud — be it the tree-planting at public places, cleaning river beds, catching/rescuing snakes from residential areas and dropping them safely at nearby forests etc. The latest being clearing the civic waste heaps recklessly dumped by devotees at the bathing ghats…

Sir, This is in response to our former Mayor Modamani’s concern and advice to MCC officials about building violations published in Star of Mysore dated Dec. 20, 2022. Her concern is highly appreciated but the MCC officials are neither serious nor vigilant. Also, they have not learnt any lessons from the tragic death of retd….

Sir, Recently, I walked into a post office to purchase revenue stamps since my bank was asking for them to process some claims.

Sir, This refers to the front page news item titled “Littering in public to invite penalty from January 1, 2023” in SOM dated Dec. 9. Does the MCC and other authorities realise that Mysuru has become a “city of garbage”? Wherever we go about in the city, we find heaps of garbage everywhere. There are…

Sir, This is in continuation with the letter titled “An Appeal To Railways” published in this column dated Dec. 8. I too had a similar experience while travelling from Mysuru to Hyderabad on train number 12786. I am a frequent traveller in this train with my family and I book 2 tier AC. While boarding…

Sir, Every other road across Mysuru city needs repair and tarring. Soon after being elected, the present Mayor had said that his first  priority was roads and making it motorable. Later rains were a ruse and now planning the Peripheral Ring Road is laughable. All the roads need asphalting since nothing was done for the…

Sir, This refers to the news item in SOM dated Dec. 15 about the fire accident that occurred at Dasara Exhibition venue.
