Sir, I have written several repeated letters under this column over the last two years for the need to install a traffic signal at the junction of Hotel Red Lotus Suites located on Akka Mahadevi Road, J.P. Nagar. No action has been taken till date on the same. It seems all my appeals have fallen…

Sir, I am a resident of Rajivnagar 2nd Stage near Al Badar Masjid. The condition of the road  near the Masjid junction and the road passing through Gupta Store till Ring Road is in a very bad condition. This road is very busy and used by families, children and senior citizens. Hence, I request the…

Sir, I request the traffic authorities concerned to take strict action on footpath parking in Lakshmipuram, adjacent to a College.  To add to the problem, the students are riding bullet bikes with after-market silencers and other two-wheelers around the park opposite to the College in a rash manner. A few students also park the vehicles…

Sir, Many roads are being re-asphalted but the contractors concerned have not cleared the soil heaps on either sides to allow free flow of rain water into the road side drains. This is resulting in stagnation of rain water on the asphalted road. Standing water damages the asphalted road resulting in potholes. As it is,…

Sir, Kudos to the authorities concerned of Mysuru City Railway Station for mitigating the woes  faced by the passengers as well as others who pick up and drop the passengers at Mysuru Railway Station by re-routing the exit point. Whenever a train arrives at the platform, utter chaos is created at the entrance of the…

Sir, With reference to a recent letter in this column, I would like to re-emphasise the need for a one-minute stoppage of all Bengaluru-bound trains from Mysuru, maybe except Shatabdi Express at the Jnanabharathi Halt Station. Jnanabharathi Metro Station is the closest station to Jnanabharathi Halt Station. People can reach their destination fast, saving time…

Sir, Earth Day was celebrated on April  22 and it is important to remember that Mysuru has some of the best ecological hotspots on the earth. Not many are aware that right in the middle of the city, the Kukkarahalli Lake is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. This has been well-documented…

Sir, Of late it is observed that the concerned staff are not opening the doors of last three compartments of Shatabdi Express which leaves to Chennai from Mysuru. The passengers have to help themselves to open the doors of these compartments. Probably the concerned staff becomes lethargic after opening the doors of other compartments and…

Sir, The 1.5 kms stretch that connects to NJ Hospital in Yelwal (State Highway 88 that connects Bantwal from Mysuru) is in a very bad shape (filled with potholes). Since 2020, none of the authorities concerned have inspected the same and provided any assurance to make the road fit to travel. As many people from…

Sir, The ‘Operation Chamundi’ which was re-introduced by our City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta last month with the assistance of Siddartha Traffic Police and K.R. Traffic Police in checking the two-wheelers for wheeling, zig-zag, shrill horns and four-wheelers ridden/driven by youngsters on Chamundi Hill road is definitely a good drive.  I am a regular visitor…
