Regulate traffic on busy junctions

Sir, — Margosa Road (the stretch between Malleswaram main bus stand and 5th cross Malleswaram) is a one-way and is busy from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Vehicular traffic on this stretch is heavy and it is difficult to cross this road, particularly for senior citizens.

A traffic police constable should be posted at the junctions of 17th, 11th and 8th crosses to regulate traffic. I urge the authorities concerned to look into this suggestion.

Consider CET

and PU marks

Sir, — For admission to medical and dental colleges, it is important that the second pre-university (PU) examination marks are considered along with the marks obtained in the Common Entrance Test (CET).

Students who have done well in the PU examination will be affected if only the CET marks are considered to determine admissions.

On the other hand, students who do not fare well in the PU examination, but have performed well in CET, will be assured of a seat in a good college.

Also, if only the CET marks are taken into account students will not take the PU examination seriously. Therefore, the PU marks and CET marks should be taken into account while preparing the merit list.

KGF needs a

major industry

Sir, — A recent visit to Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) left me dumbstruck at the appalling condition of this once thriving industrial area. The people of KGF are living in poverty. I agree with Kolar MLA S. Rajendran's observations that KGF needs a major industry.

The closure of Bharat Gold Mines has added to the woes of the people. Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy should take steps to revive this town. He should ensure that progress reaches this area. This will be a befitting gift to the people of KGF during the 50th anniversary celebrations of the State.

Paint road humps

Sir, — Two speed-breakers in front of Canara Bank on Nandidurg Road have not been painted. They pose a serious threat to motorists, who are caught unaware, particularly at night. The authorities concerned should ensure that these speed-breakers are painted at the earliest to avoid accidents.
