Sir, I fully concur with the views expressed by Chandrahas in this column recently. I too observe that auto drivers on the pretext of taking left turn jump signals. Many autos in city plying near Ring Roads neither have tail lamps nor number plates. Seldom drivers wear uniform and courtesy is totally missing. Also many…
Provide traffic lights and safe walker-friendly footpaths
July 31, 2022Sir, I was born and brought up in this beautiful city and was a resident of Yadavagiri. I am now a regular visitor. Over the last 3 decades, it is apparent that traffic in Mysuru has compounded. I appreciate the many changes the local Government has made to the city. That said, there is always…
Poorly developed MCC online tax payment site
July 30, 2022Sir, The MCC online tax payment site is very difficult to navigate. Only by knowing PID, it is easy to retrieve data. First time online tax-payers have to struggle a lot as they have to search using the Ward number plus property number. Lot of people would not know what is the Ward No., especially…
Kudos to VV Puram Traffic Police
July 29, 2022Sir, Apropos the letter appearing in this column “Disaster waiting to happen?” (Star of Mysore dated July 19) and the photo news item “VV Puram Traffic Police avert disaster waiting to happen” (Star of Mysore dated July 20), kudos to VV Puram Traffic Police Inspector and his team for immediate action based on a letter…
Payment of water bills online
July 28, 2022Sir, I have been paying water bills of Mysuru City Corporation online regularly for the past couple of years. When I attempt to pay the bill for July 2022, I continue to get baffled as I get ‘No bills available’. Since the last date to pay the bill is approaching, can it be hoped that…

But I would like to suggest and bring to…
Woes of water consumers
July 26, 2022Sir, Last year the water meter reader told us that the meter was not working properly so we had to give an application to install a new meter and pay Rs. 2,000 for the same. After 3 to 4 months we got the new meter installed. Now after this new meter was installed the latest…
Missing rear number plates
July 25, 2022Sir, Today I witnessed a narrowly missed accident. In an urge to jump the traffic signal, a goods auto narrowly missed hitting a two-wheeler, who stopped his vehicle on seeing the signal turning red. Though the motorists at the signal admonished the goods auto driver, he jumped the signal and sped away. I wanted to…
No entry to DD Urs Road
July 24, 2022Sir, It is so disheartening to see the entry point to D. Devaraj Urs Road from K.R. Circle being closed since the last 4 days because of the pipeline work. Moreover, the other route to be taken to reach DD Urs Road from K.R. Circle, that is by taking a turn towards Jaganmohan Palace, is…
