Sir, Of late the new trend followed by the compulsive traffic rules violators are to drive and wait on the right hand side of the road meridian, against the on-coming vehicles when the signal is red.  As soon as the signal turns green, these habitual traffic rules violators are in a tearing hurry to drive…

Sir, It’s winter time now and we early morning walkers are  finding it tough to go for a walk because certain streets are absolutely dark as the street-lights are switched off early in the morning. Knowing the risks of walking in the dark, no matter how strong you are, it gives us chills to wade…
