Sir, I have seen the civic authorities are building good tiled footpaths next to the main road in most of the places in the city and the new roads are asphalted pre or post Dasara in Mysuru. I really appreciate the good work which is being done by them and kudos to MCC team. But…

Sir, Apropos the report in SOM last month announcing the inauguration of Lingambudhi Botanical Garden on Sept.26 (coinciding with Dasara), the report said that this garden will function from 7 am to 7 pm.
