Plea to maintain neglected park in Jayalakshmipuram
June 7, 2022Sir, My parents are residing on 8th Main Road, Jayalakshmipuram, behind BM Hospital where there is a park which has been badly neglected.

Mysuru city losing its charm?
June 6, 2022Sir, We chose to settle down in Mysuru that was once considered as Pensioners Paradise. But it seems like we made a wrong decision then. Now, Mysuru has become dirty and is being neglected by local Corporators, legislators and the MP. The city roads are full of craters, potholes and unwanted speed-brakers. The roads, especially…
Improve easy accessibility in Chamundi and Rajya Rani Express
June 5, 2022Sir, Prompted by K. Chandrahas’ letter in Star of Mysore dated May 19, I would like to draw the attention of Railway authorities to two important observations and suggestions. 1. Both Chamundi and Rajya Rani Express trains carry the same formation of the coaches. While the latter train’s name-board is displayed on the coaches, Chamundi’s…
Provide online access to MUDA maps and plans
June 4, 2022Sir, The CDP (City Development Plan) maps were earlier available on MUDA website but of late the online access to these maps have been removed.

Problems faced by citizens of Mysuru
June 2, 2022Sir, Most of the roads in the city are full of craters and potholes. This poses a hazard to motorists and pedestrians. Pavement paver blocks too are unevenly laid which is extremely dangerous for pedestrians, especially after dusk. There is a vegetable market behind Dasara Exhibition Grounds. As vegetables are strewn around by vendors, a…
Will the authorities concerned wake up?
June 1, 2022Sir, Though Mysuru city competes for being ranked on the top, there is no consistent effort to keep the city spruced up to present an attractive look by taking timely action to clear the accumulation of debris. It is often observed that there is a flurry of activities to activate Pourakarmikas in the wake of…
Power failure at Mysore Airport: Don’t put passengers lives at risk
May 31, 2022Sir, The news item on Mysore Airport runway lights failure last Thursday (May 26) due to a technical glitch is very much disturbing. More shocking is the fact that the standby generator too failed to come on line. That the Chennai-Mysuru flight was kept going around for nearly an hour wasting fuel on ATC instructions…
Dr. Sudha Murty as President
May 30, 2022Sir, Reading K.B. Ganapathy’s Abracadabra titled ‘Guess who will be the President and Vice-President of India!‘ in yesterday’s Star of Mysore, I was reminded of an incident at a Book Club function (Oct.12, 2018) where Dr. Sudha Murty was the chief guest. The previous day (Oct. 11, 2018), Star of Mysore had carried an Abracadabra…
