Sir, This picture alongside is that of a Rain tree trunk being burnt by vandals on Chamaraja Double Road (100 feet road) near the Sanskrit College. The tree is in a precarious state now, that any day this burnt tree may uproot and God forbid may take lives of people passing by. I hereby request…
MysoreOne facilities: A suggestion
February 13, 2017Sir, Although there are many outlets of MysoreOne in the city, one has to go to only the Gokulam Office for getting Aadhaar card-related things done. The other day l had gone there to just update my mobile number and it took more than three hours! There is only one system and one person attending…
Students put to “double jeopardy”
February 12, 2017Lakhs of students appear for NEET and providing of only four centres is hopelessly inadequate. CBSE seems to have no idea as to the quantum of unnecessary miseries and expenses to which they are putting the students into by only providing four centres for the entire State. Is it not strange that even Mysuru, which…
High-beam lights must be banned
February 11, 2017Sir, I had heard that Mysuru was a pensioner’s paradise. But in the last 6 years I have found that while Mysuru could still be called a paradise during day time (compared to Bengaluru where I lived for long years), honestly, it is like hell to drive during nights. No road in Mysuru is bright…

‘My heart breaking moments’
February 9, 2017Sir, It was a pleasure reading Ballal’s article “My Embarrassing Moments-4” (SOM dated Jan. 12) and it took me decades back when I had spoken to him over phone. I became aware only recently that Ballal is connected to the Ballal family of Krishnamurthypuram. We would eagerly await to see Lava-Kusha twins from the Ballal…
Two-wheelers sans number plates on the rise in city
February 7, 2017Sir, Of late it is shocking to see the increase in the number of two-wheelers plying without registration number plate in Mysuru. By plying so, the two-wheelers are openly defying basic traffic and RTO rules. A few days back a two-wheeler without a registration number plate with three persons jumped the signal near St. Joseph’s…
