The numbers, natures and levels of the problems bugging the individuals, their families, society’s different sections and the nation, not to ignore the world at large, seem to be witnessing an unrelenting increase, adding to those remaining unaddressed or unresolved by the affected parties concerned, without meaning to deny the attempts and efforts to identify and solve them, some to their logical end, some others left midway and the rest in status quo. Readers of dailies don’t need to be reminded about Mysuru’s residents aghast at the piquant situation resulting in misery beyond words due to the various civic problems bugging them in daily life defying redemption, some of which are their own creation and the rest that have pushed the civic authorities and its workforce to their wits’ end. Instances of solutions to specific problems of the city, some of them described as quick-fix solutions, proving not-upto-the-mark and even worse than the problems cross one’s mind in a flash (widening of roads to facilitate automobiles move safely by chopping life-supporting trees).
The lament by litterateurs commanding recognition and respect in society as well as academics in informed circles, highlighting paucity of literary works of exemplary quality and lack of creativity in theses submitted for doctorate degrees in various subjects doesn’t seem to have stirred debates in public domain to the extent of triggering measures to address the two issues.
