Sir, When I first read that MCC will finally implement ‘Pay and Park’ system, I was happy. At last, our Corporators are doing the right thing. But I was disappointed to read the Abracadabra critical of such a long delayed facility. Now looks like after seeing all the media hype, MCC is having a second…

Sir, This refers to the report titled ‘Pay and Park tender put on hold: Mayor’ in Star of Mysore dated June 13. No wonder MCC’s latest goof-up ended even before it started! I was very much sceptical when it was announced that the ‘pay and park’ will be implemented on five prominent roads of the…

Sir, In the background of the ongoing debate on the issue of ‘Pay and Park’ proposed by the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC), I would like to add a few points. When Mr. Siddaraju was the Chairman of City Improvement Trust Board (CITB), now Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), land in the fourth and last stage…

Sir, The recent revision of the power tariff has sparked a great uproar among power consumers. It is a well-known fact that the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) undertakes this exercise annually in May-June.

Sir, This refers to KBG’s Abracadabra titled ‘MCC’s ‘Pay and Park’ system – Shoppers protest; No way to ease pressure on parking space,’ in yesterday’s Star of Mysore and related news items. My question to the MCC is that in this FREE season, how can one think of ‘Pay & Park’? People have voted for…

Urgent action needed by Government in consultation with NHAI Sir, The news of 55 lives lost in 570 accidents over a five-month period on the Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway is deeply unsettling and raises significant concerns (55 killed in five months in accidents on Mysuru-Bengaluru Expressway, SOM dated June 9). According to the report, 52 individuals suffered…

Sir, Over the last couple of weeks, it has become amply clear that the five guarantees by the Congress Government have created more confusion and unrest among the public.  Social and electronic media are abuzz with updates each minute and each news channel wants to outdo the rest by projecting themselves as having unambiguous information…

Sir, On earlier occasions many readers including me had brought the issue of dumping of waste along service roads of the Ring Road with no avail. This morning on my walk on Ring Road leading towards R.T. Nagar, I found a lot of garbage strewn all over on the service road. The place was pathetic…
