We present here the results from an extensive scintillation study of twenty
pulsars in the dispersion measure (DM) range 3 - 35 pc cm^-3 carried out using
the Ooty Radio Telescope, to investigate the distribution of ionized material
in the local interstellar medium (LISM). Our analysis reveals several anomalies
in the scattering strength, which suggest that the distribution of scattering
material in the Solar neighborhood is not uniform. Our model suggests the
presence of a low density bubble surrounded by a shell of much higher density
fluctuations. We are able to put some constraints on geometrical and scattering
properties of such a structure, and find it to be morphologically similar to
the Local Bubble known from other studies.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
