Traffic in chennai is managing itself by self discipline. The regulation by Traffic Police is very megre. The the Road juctions there are neither traffic signals nor Traffic police to monitor. Many violations are seen in such places. Road encroachments by hawkers and cart vendors block the traffic to maximum extent. In many places stray animals are wandering in the main streets. The city roads are filled with Flyover construction materials, debris removed from the water drainage. Nether Traffic police monitor these obstacles nor L&O Police monitor them.
Traffic police are mute spectators as far as traffic violators are concerned. By and large the commuters are ignoring the signals and do not stop before the stop line in signals. In the peak hours and in the evening when colleges are closed, we can see the students occupying space up to the middle of the road, posing a danger to all and sundry. Traffic police rarely enforce the rules regarding drunken driving and riding with out helmet.
Violations of traffic signals are aplenty. No police to control traffic in busy are where signals are not provided. Pavements are occupied by business/traders which makes pedestrain to cross road. All illegal occupation should be got vacated.
Hyderabad police being active during the nights has brought in a lot of confidence to ordinary citizens like me. Keep it up although I think police needs to interact more with civil society and make themselves more approachable
Links given in Rating comments part where many people been cheated by these cons (since so long!!) are mentioned. I doubt TN Police knows about them and purposely supporting else how come cheating can be so easy? Atleast I have seen they are not supporting by any means to the victim.
A group of people Chennai resident having bank account of Chennai Velachery taking money online and not providing service. Not responding after taking money. Lodged complaint to Chennai Police Ref No RCP1705391 online as I am currently in Orissa. This is a clear case of cheating by a person residing in Chennai and having bank account there in Velachery where I was asked to transfer amount (Bank transaction screenshot also mentioned in below mail). I believe law and order is same for all in our country and lodging complaint with proof online is enough irrespective of victims location. Earlier I faced similar case 6 years back and MP Police helped me to get my money back so I don’t think it is mandatory to lodge the complaint with local police. Later I received call from Police saying I need to raise complaint with Orissa Police. The cheating case happened online and we get transferred frequently hence lodged the complained with all proofs (Email and bank transaction detail). It is very unfortunate that people from Chennai are cheating others and TN Police is just waving hand by asking to lodge complaint locally.
