Sir, It was disheartening to read the news item “IAF staffer killed in bike accident” (Star of Mysore dated Feb. 12). Many road accidents have occurred in the Ring Road starting from under-bridge near Hotel Royal Inn till Columbia Asia Hospital during the past. I am a regular commuter on this stretch for the past…
Sir, In spite of vigilant checks by the Traffic Police at many vantage points, we still can see plenty of traffic rules violators. In the attached photo one rider appears to be of underage riding without helmet and the other rider has removed his vehicle registration number plate and also riding without helmet. The riders…
Sir, I write this letter with an intention to add to the voice being raised by concerned citizens against the ill-conceived ‘development’ works being implemented in the Kukkarahalli Tank and its environs. Tanks are usually constructed to store the flow that originates in the ‘catchment area’ as a result of rainfall on it. But, Kukkarahalli…
Sir, Developmental works such as widening walking path, boating activities, de-silting, children’s park and butterfly park are on at the Kukkarahalli Lake. Are these works necessary? At the Lake, over 170 species of birds are being recorded and over 30 species breed here. Year-on-year, as Mysuru grows, the number of birds are decreasing. Ducks like…
Sir, Private sector or public sector, the response from the middle level management is pathetic. So very early in my career at Madurai, I learnt that it is always good to complain to the top management in case of any problem. When I was posted at the Madurai Ashok, I had gone over to Bangalore…
Sir, I wish to express sincere thanks and gratitude to Star of Mysore on its 40th anniversary. I am a senior citizen, settled in Malappuram district, Kerala. Since 2002, we are visiting Mysuru twice or thrice a year as our daughter and family are settled here. She came to Mysuru in connection with employment in…
Sir, I read with interest, your Abracadabra titled “Mission Hospital: Mission Continues” (SOM dated Feb. 20). Living in the West after leaving Mysuru 40 years ago, because of the casteism, politics, endemic corruption and the downgrading of meritocracy, the Mission Hospital stood out then as a rare gem when even the poor could approach the…
Sir, The article titled “Fr. Denis Noronha: Celebrating 60 years of Priesthood” by Kenneth Shishir (SOM dated Feb.21) was informative and nostalgic since I am also from Bantwal. What a great inning Fr. Noronha had in this long and fruitful journey of 60 years of serving his church, community and the nation. All of us…
Sir, Reading the Abracadabra titled “Paris, Here I Come — 4: The paths of glory lead but to the grave — The tomb of JRD Tata” in Star of Mysore special issue of 16.2.2017 wherein it was written how the House of TATAs have touched every home in India with their various products from pin…
Sir, I was very much impressed with the new layout of SOM web version. It is looking smart and also helps to get info on today’s and tomorrow’s engagements, events, cinema, etc., which were missing in the older version. On some days, the paper boy may not deliver the daily well before 4 pm and…
