Sir, This refers to the letter by K. Chandrahas (SOM dated Nov. 11) where he has expressed genuine concern regarding the inconvenience faced by senior citizens in submitting their Life Certificates.

Sir, We, the residents near Ashokapuram Railway Station (between Bedara Kannappa Temple and Ashokapuram Railway Station), behind the park from 1st Cross to 4th Cross, are facing numerous problems.

Although the concept of a unique dining experience is appealing, the practical implications of this location are worrisome. This intersection is already known for severe traffic congestion…

Sir, I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the aggressive Rhesus monkey causing disturbances around the City Railway Station, as reported in SOM on Oct. 25. The lack of immediate action on this matter poses a threat to the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors. Recently, my 11-year-old daughter was targeted…

Sir, It is encouraging to see that KSRTC authorities have finally recognised the serious issues at the current sub-urban bus stand and have decided — albeit belatedly — to construct a new rural bus stand in Bannimantap, behind the KSRTC depot (New Bus Stand at Bannimantap in SOM dated Nov. 3).
