Sir, Of late, the heavy rains in Mysuru have devastated the Chamundi Hill and caused misery to people living in low-lying residential areas through inundation. Sadly, despite the heavy rains, the ground-water table is unlikely to have risen much. For much of this, we have ourselves to blame. In the first place, the climate change…
Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the poor bus service for the residents of Udayagiri. There is a single bus numbered 153 which would be on a regular service. But a single bus isn’t enough for travelling of many people. Since the number of buses in the area is…
Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the poor maintenance of roads in Azeez Sait Nagar, 7th Cross. The roads in our locality are unmotorable for the last 4 months. Since the roads are neglected for a long time, many accidents have taken place. As a result, the residents seldom…
Sir, It is really surprising that Deve Gowda Circle at Outer Ring Road (ORR)-Bannur Road junction does not have traffic signal lights. This is one of the busiest circles in our city. It is an accident-prone junction where eight lane ORR meets four lane Bannur Road. Traffic Police also consider this as an accident-prone circle….
Sir, Apropos the news item titled “Lactating dog bitten by cobra saved” (Star of Mysore dated Nov.4), it was heartening to read about the timely action taken by Savitha Nagabhushan, Vet Dr. Amardeep Singh and the support staff of PFA (People For Animals) to save the dog from certain death of snake bite. A couple…

Shenoy is NOT in favour of decreasing the prices and is of the opinion that the revenues…
Sir, The entry point to J.P. Nagar from H.D. Kote side is turning out to be a dangerous spot day by day. Every time I drive my two-wheeler or car, particularly from H.D. Kote side, I do so with my heart in mouth. After the unauthorised sheds and business establishments that had come up at…
Sir, Apropos the news item “Drive to check helmetless riding to be intensified from January” (SOM dated Nov.7), I am of the opinion that strict checking is required against dangerous traffic violations like signal jumping and riding on the wrong side of one-way roads. These dangerous traffic violations have a direct impact on other motorists…
Sir, This refers to H.R. Bapu Satyanarayana’s letter ‘Be warned, Chamundi Hill not a tinkering lab’ in Star of Mysore dated Nov. 8. Bapu, a retired Chief Engineer and myself have written numerous articles on the failure of roads all over our city. But not a single agency has approached either of us for advice….
Sir, The recent landslide atop Chamundi Hill is due to a combination of reasons (refer news item titled ‘Chamundi Hill landslide widens; road shrinks’ in Star of Mysore dated Nov. 2, 2021). There is a balance in nature and if it is disturbed beyond a limit, the consequences become disastrous. When the Government of Karnataka…
