What Kind of News and Sections Does Star of Mysore Online Cover?

Updated

Star of Mysore Online is the website of Star of Mysore, an evening daily published in Mysuru (Mysore), India. It focuses on local news for the city and surrounding region, with a mix of breaking stories, opinion columns, and event listings. Its navigation reflects that mix: NEWS, STAR PUNCH, BABU's BANTER, COLUMNS, and EVENTS TODAY. If you are looking for Mysuru city news, local cultural coverage, or daily event information, this is the kind of site to check; if you need national or international news as your primary source, it is not positioned that way.

News and top stories

The NEWS section carries local reporting, with Top Stories highlighted. Coverage is city-focused rather than broad national coverage. A representative example from the site is a report on Yuva Dasara 2026 at Uttanahalli Grounds in Mysuru: torrential rain and strong winds halted the third day of the event, and the scheduled concert by singer Sid Sriram was cancelled, disappointing thousands of attendees. The report notes that cultural programmes had begun at 5.30 pm.

That example shows the pattern: municipal and civic happenings, festivals and cultural programmes, and breaking local developments, presented with photos and video where available.

Columns and opinion-style sections

Beyond straight news, the site runs named columns that carry a more personal or opinionated voice:

  • STAR PUNCH — a column section, typically commentary or punchy local observations.
  • BABU's BANTER — a lighter, conversational column.
  • COLUMNS — the general home for regular contributors' pieces.

These sections are useful if you want local perspective and commentary rather than only event reporting. Treat them as opinion and analysis, not as neutral news copy.

Events and cultural coverage

EVENTS TODAY is a daily listing of what is happening in Mysuru, which makes the site practical for residents and visitors planning an evening out. Cultural coverage overlaps with the news section — Dasara programmes, concerts, and similar events are reported both as listings and as news when something goes wrong or changes.

Section What you will find Best for
NEWS / Top Stories Local Mysuru reporting, breaking news, civic and cultural developments Following city events as they happen
STAR PUNCH Commentary-style column Local opinion and perspective
BABU's BANTER Conversational column Lighter local reading
COLUMNS Regular contributor pieces Analysis and viewpoint
EVENTS TODAY Daily event listings Planning what to attend in Mysuru

How to use it

Start with NEWS for the day's main local stories, check EVENTS TODAY if you need to know what is on, and dip into the column sections for opinion. Because it is an evening daily, the strongest update cycle is later in the day. For anything beyond Mysuru — state, national, or international — expect limited depth, and cross-check with a broader outlet.
