Sir, Roads in East Mysuru at areas including Kalyanagiri Nagar, Sathagalli Layout, Raghavendra Nagar and Azeez Sait Nagar have become an eyesore and a mess for road users. Though the roads were dug up almost a year ago to lay UGD pipes and new water connection lines, they have not yet been re-laid. One must…
Sir, S.N. Venkatnag Sober’s feature on “Mysuru’s tryst with Freedom Movement: Recalling Mysuru’s role in India’s Freedom Struggle” (Star of Mysore dated Aug. 13) was interesting. I was happy to find the name of my uncle — my father’s elder brother — G.R. Swamy in the write-up. G.R. Swamy aka G. Ramaswamy was a veteran…
Sir, It was a noble gesture of my friend KBG to dedicate his Abracadabra written in the midnight (we got our hard-earned Independence too in the midnight) to appear in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 14, 2017, for nothing much I did to his column. As a prolific and seasoned writer with a rich journalistic…
Sir, KBG’s Abracadabra titled ‘MOTHER’ published in Star of Mysore dated Aug. 8 was thought-provoking. I had tears in my eyes when I read that article. Two incidents have been narrated in the article. One is the outcome of materialistic approach towards our life under the influence of Western culture and the other incident of…
Sir, I am a resident of J.P. Nagar 7th Cross, ‘E’ Block, next to Sai Baba Temple Road. The cement signboards indicating the Cross, Main and House Nos. are in a bad condition — some of them are not visible and in some signboards letters are completely faded making it difficult for people in locating…
Sir, As mentioned by me in my earlier letters too, the Krishnaraja Boulevard is one of the finest stretches in the city. This near 600 m stretch is adorned by many heritage structures, including the Law Courts and the Zilla Panchayat, on its sides. With wide footpaths on both the sides and hosting a beautiful…
Sir, There is heavy traffic movement around Deve Gowda Circle at Siddartha Layout, with heavy trucks passing through this junction. Also, there are no road humps or signal lights or Traffic Police to patrol the busy junction. This leads to frequent accidents at the Circle. Will the authorities concerned install road humps or traffic signal…
Sir, The connecting Road to Roopanagar through SBM Employees Layout via Bogadi-Gaddige Main road is crying for repairs since years. This road is dotted with potholes and damaged for about 2-3 kms distance. The road has not been repaired since long. As such residents hesitate to travel on this road to reach the main road…
Sir, A visit to RTO at Shaktinagar indicates that a lot is required to improve the basic facilities at this place frequented by people of all ages. One can find long queues and senior citizens and differently-abled persons too have to stand in general queues. It is the responsibility of the society to help those…
Sir, The Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) has become tech-savvy with the installation of smart meters which should definitely be useful for both CESC and their consumers. To achieve this, CESC commenced its work by replacing almost all the existing overhead lines in most parts of Mysuru. This is just a manual labour and no…
