Special Drive Against Pollution-Causing Vehicles
By Prince
12 M.G. Road,
Adayar, Chennai
March 1, 2013
A mega two-day special drive was launched by the Chennai traffic police against pollution-causing vehicles on the roads of Chennai. The drive began on the 26th of last month and lasted till the month end. The purpose of the drive was to ensure pollution-free movement of vehicles. It was also meant to make the city pollution-free. Though the purpose of the drive was clearly for the benefit of the society, it caused a lot of inconvenience to the general public. People faced huge traffic jams and crowds at some key intersections. The traffic jams became unmanageable, especially during peak hours. Hopefully, the government will be a lot more careful and sensitive towards the general public while carrying out such an event next time.
