Sir, Through this column I wish to apprise the Civic Body in the temple town of Nanjangud on the worst state of some of the thoroughfares in the very heart of the town. The (Nehru) Circle right opposite the City Municipal Office adjacent to the Railway bridge, besides being already narrow, is always flooded with…

Sir, This has reference to the article on ropeway by Bhamy V. Shenoy in Star of Mysore dated Mar. 9. The article clearly, elaborately, pointwise, describes the needlessness of a costly project called the ropeway. The format of the article, basic question and answer type, makes it crystal clear to anyone, why it is foolish…
