Wonders will never cease. Looks like the cops have abandoned their Rip Van Winkelesque attitude and have finally begun to fight traffic violators with all possible means.

This is surely a tool that the common citizen, the revered aam aadmi can use to make governance a little better. If the cops really act on this, then wow! There is a 1000 character restriction to what you can post. Well to kick off the fun and games, I have posted this: "Come evening when the traffic police like all good Government servants knock off work and go for their evening liquid fortification, violators of traffic rules make hay. Take the area from Union Pharmacy. to the gaddo opposite Syndicate Bank it is full of double parked vehicles which make things difficult for other road users. This also happens at lunch time when all good traffic police are lunching away at their favourite chicken place and probably enjoying a glass of Mr. Mallya's restorative tonic. Would the Traffic Police kindly take some time off from their routine and go about the business of minding traffic which is basically what your hard working taxpayer who subsidizes your bread, butter jam and a little copinha expects. If there is a fairly positive response to this post and not the usual Governmentese, "We are looking into the matter or that the concerned department is intimated", I shall be happy to provide a few bones that we can all chew over" -- -- Tony de Sa. tonydesa at gmail dot com ^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v
