Sir, Apropos the news report titled “SWR gears up for hassle-free movement of passengers” in Star of Mysore dated Oct. 3, 2022, I wish to draw the attention of the Railway authorities at Mysuru, to the plight of senior citizens and ladies with children having to walk LONG distance on the PF to reach the…

Sir, Mysuru Dasara is a spectacle renowned for its sheer class, splendour and sheen. But for those stuck in over two-hour-long traffic jam at the Manipal Hospital junction, it was a never-ending nightmare, when for a stretch of 7 to 8-km traffic jam proved to be the worst traffic experience, in a now all too…

Sir, With reference to my letter “Is Manuvana park a dump yard?” in this column on 22.9.2022, thanks to the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) authorities for taking a swift response in clearing the garbage from the park. Within a day or two the concerned officials swung into action and cleared most of the debris. Keep…

Sir, I feel sorry about the pathetic state of the Ring Road, most part of which lies in pitch darkness while the city roads are glittering with colourful lights, thanks to the Dasara Illumination Sub-Committee. Well, the Ring Road happens to be the entry road to Mysuru from all directions and with much traffic inside…

Sir, The travel by Ambaari bus enjoying  Dasara illumination is definitely a very good experience.  But there are a couple of defects in the bus, which requires  immediate attention: 1.  The first issue is while getting in and getting out  of the bus — the first step to get in and get out of the…

Sir, I am a frequent traveller between Mysuru and Mumbai. Of late I have seen a lot more people travelling between the two cities. There is no direct flight also from Mysuru to Mumbai which is making it more difficult to get reservations in the current Mysuru-Dadar Weekly Sharavathi Express (Train No. 11036). I request…

Sir, The Balakrishna Rao Road  near Ashoka  Circle (popularly known as Ballal Circle)  leading to K.G. Koppal is in dilapidated condition and not been repaired for a very long time. The road has a lot of potholes and pits not at all conducive for driving vehicles. Surprisingly, the road connecting Ballal Circle to under-bridge in…

Sir, This year the Dasara lightings of all main roads, Circles and Government buildings are really splendid. For a change, this year we can see more artistic illumination, especially on Kuppanna Park Road and the road leading to the Regional Commissioner’s  Office (Hunsur Road). Compared to all the previous years, this year the authorities have…

Sir, The Outer Ring Road (ORR) of Mysuru, which is a part of NH, is in very bad condition. Neither the authorities concerned nor our MP, In-charge Minister or MLAs have any inkling on the various issues of this Road which is more than 10 years old. First, the road has no proper street-lighting facility….

Sir, It is commendable that the Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has made sincere efforts in illuminating our city for Dasara. But the results are debatable. While the lighting is a lot more extensive than the previous years, the quality and technical artistry are conspicuously missing. It is so monotonous that if you see one…
