Sir, I would like to thank Star of Mysore because after winning Rs. 1000 in Lucky Grahak Yojane it was through SOM that I came to know about an old lady who lost her household belongings in a cylinder blast. Giving someone Rs. 1000 that I got in Lucky Grahak Yojane was not a big…
Banner mania in Bogadi !
March 14, 2017Sir, Our one-time beautiful Bogadi village road is now turning notoriously infamous into a banner road. There is not a day on which we can see the stretch without some banner or the other. I am surprised how the authorities give permission to put up huge cut-outs of local residents for their birthdays with at…
Ban use of high beam lights
March 14, 2017Sir, This has reference to a report on the above matter in SOM dated 11.2.2017. I have been following up this matter with the Traffic Police in Mysuru for the last five years.

Fix reflectors on the barricades
March 13, 2017Sir, The news item “Two bike riders killed as they hit road barricades” (SOM dated Feb.10) is really sad and shocking. Two precious lives were lost for no fault of theirs and their family members have to undergo trauma life-long. Barricades are installed with a good intention to reduce the speed — provided barricades are…
Chamundi Express and Shatabdi: Some suggestions
March 13, 2017Sir, The seating arrangement in Chair Car of Chamundi Express train do not conform with that mentioned in the ticket.

March 13, 2017Sir, It is surprising to learn that more than 3,000 traffic violations in 45 different categories were being noticed on a Sunday in city.

Is this the way to cross the road?
March 12, 2017Sir, Many vehicle-users comment on the Traffic Police whenever there is an inconvenience caused to them due to any reason related to traffic movement.

Can we have a flawless widening of Vivekananda Circle-Srirampura Road
March 12, 2017Sir, I refer to the interesting article by V.N. Prasad in SOM dated 4.1.2017. The suggestion made by the author is very much necessary lest the public money goes to drain in the absence of quality control. It seems Prasad has not taken into consideration two more critical issues associated with widening and improving the…
Plan for pedestrian walkways at RUBs and ROBs
March 11, 2017Sir, This has reference to the news item ‘New Railway Over and Under Bridges sanctioned for city’ (SOM dated Feb.6).

Harrowing experience in Rajya Rani Express
March 10, 2017Sir, Just a few days back I was travelling to Bengaluru by Rajya Rani Express which departs from Mysuru at 2.30 pm. The journey was very awesome up to Naganahalli. The train reached Naganahalli so fast that I didn’t feel like I travelled. It was there almost at 4.30 pm. But trouble started only after…
