Sir, I fully endorse the views of C.M. Rajendra in SOM dated Aug.3 on abnormal shunting of trains on the outskirts.  Most passengers have experienced this not only on the ones entering Mysuru city but on the return direction too (Kengeri, Nayandahalli and at a little distance before KSR Bengaluru).  Chamundi Express (morning) and Mayiladuthurai…

Sir, Last Monday (1st August) I happened to travel by KSRTC (Karnataka Sarige) non-stop bus from Mysuru to Bengaluru at around 5.40 am. I religiously took my ticket from the non-stop counter and boarded the designated bus. The bus was yet to be filled and the driver was calling out for collecting the passengers in…

Sir, In the month of April our cross road was completely dug up to replace drainage pipes during which all our water connections, telephone connections were damaged by the JCB and we  got that repaired at our own expense. Now even after 4 months the road is not relaid leaving heaps of mud which has…

Sir, Consequent upon publishing of my letter in this column twice some months ago, the authorities came up with tarring of a portion of the road (3rd A Cross, in front of Sukrutha PU College) in Dattagalli which was damaged because of movement of trucks loaded heavily with M-sand, bricks and stones that are dumped,…

Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Swami Vivekananda’s vision for future of India, as I understand -1” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore made an interesting read. I was reminded of the famous saying “Ninnannu neenu tilidiko/tiddiko, ade neenu jagattige maadabahudaada dodda seve” by Swami Shivananda. I was also reminded of Swami Vivekananda’s famous saying that, “So long…

Sir, This refers to KBG’s Abracadabra titled “Swami Vivekananda’s vision for future of India, as I understand -1” in yesterday’s Star of Mysore. Just like Swami Vivekananda gave four spiritual paths for our salvation, after Independence the Constitution has given four pillars to our country to stand firmly on them democratically so that all Indians…

Sir, The recent tragic accident on Outer Ring Road (ORR), near GRS Fantasy Park, where a woman was fatally knocked down by a trailer lorry is an eye-opener to all.   ORR has many Railway Under-bridges, which incidentally has only one pass through, due to which service roads attached therein are incomplete for want of another…

Sir, I am a senior citizen residing at 7th Cross, 17th Main, E Block, C Zone, 3rd Stage, behind Sai Baba Temple in J.P. Nagar, Mysuru. The direction board which is in the left side of my house has to be replaced as the letters in the board is not visible and it is almost…

Sir, The South Western Railway (SWR) seems to have no value for time. Most of the trains arrive at a good speed from Bengaluru and stop outside Mysuru Railway Station waiting for clearance. Many a times I have seen trains waiting for more than 20-25 minutes for clearance to enter the platform. In fact today…

Sir, The MUDA Grounds in Vijayanagar I Stage is the lung space for the residents of Vijayanagar, Hebbal, Vontikoppal and Jayalakshmipuram in Mysuru. This ground is having facility for coaching cricket, basketball, lawn tennis and several indoor games. Every evening hundreds of young boys and girls play and enjoy their favourite sport. Also, there are…
