Chennai Traffic Police Complaints & Reviews

Hi team,

I usually park my bike at a place before parrys corner police station. Before it wasn't a no parking zone. I haven't seen that it has been changed. Cops took my bike and when asked they asked me to pay fine for which i've agreed. But they've asked me to pay 200 and leave for which i said that i would need a challan or a boil for my payment. Upon making me wait for 45 minutes the cop named v. Ganesan called another cop to which he arrived and asked for my bike insurance, rc and my licence. Everything seemed perfect. He took my licence and charged me 260 which was not actually. When questioed for overcharging he started to shout at me to which i politely moved.
Government asks us not to bribe but govt officials asks us to bribe. If someone can provide me a solution i can even file a complaint on this. I have the challan copy and the picture of where my bike was parked.
Requesting your support.

I reside on Clemens Road Near Kidszee Play School Doveton Chennai - 600007.

Thanks and Regards

Sir

I bring to your knowledge an issue o[censored]tmost importance which involves the safety of the general public in vadapalani area on all the days of the year.

At present, there is no proper arrangement for the pedestrians to cross the arcot road (Nsk salai) near vijaya hospital / forum vijaya mall in vadapalani. On an average about 5 to10 people cross @ this point once in every 4 to 6 min. People are compelled to use a small gap in the median with a haphazard bump in the middle. Users include patients, ladies, senior citizens & also children. While people are crossing, some of the drivers of 4 & 2 wheelers (In particular) do not pay any care for the pedestrians. A few of them even try to exhibit their heroism by raising the accelerator of the vehicles causing panic.

Hence, i request you to pl arrange to regularize this in a safe manner.in this regard, i suggest the following.
1. Provision of crossing with an automatic signal.
2. Provision of speed breakers with zebra crossing.
3. Punishing those who violate the traffic rules (As only this will result in enforcement of discipline / law).
4. Traffic to be regulated/controlled by manned police. I may not prefer this as this involves strain on a human being, who has to spend time under sun / rain with his own safety involved.

I only wish due to this complaint the authorities should not close the median since a crossing point close to hospital / mall is a must as otherwise it may lead to more dangerous consequences. I shall be thankful if you pl initiate action at the very earliest.

Yours warmly,
K. Govindaraju

I am a retired army colonel. This evening, at about 6.50 p. M. I was driving my company i 10 hyundai car tn22cx5828 near vijayanagar, velachery, chennai 42 from velachery to pallikaranai. A traffic policeman misbehaved with me and abused me using vulgar language despite telling him that i am a retired army officer. I was travelling with my wife, two daughters and three small grandchildren. Kindly take suitable action against the traffic policeman with information to me.

Sir, location : road junction at pallikaranai (Velacheery tambaram road& radial road junction near dr. Kamachi memorial hospital).
Traffic signal light is already positioned at this road junction, but it is not being operated for years together. During peak hours traffic policeman is controlling the traffic but not efficiently, pedestrians afraid of crossing the road junction during peak hours.
Kindly operate the traffic signal lights and control the traffic.

Sir,
For the past 2 days, traffic in greams road towards anna salai is moving in snail's pace because entry to anna salai has been made more narrow by additional barricades allowing only one vehicle at a time. Hence, vehicles get piled up till the other end of greams road. Everyday, we have to reach office late due to this extra barricades.
Please restore normal entry to anna salai and help us.
Thank you

I have recently shifted to chennai. I have stayed in many cities earlier for eg. Mumbai, pune, panjim. This is for the first time in my life i saw traffic police asking all the vehicle drivers to drive fast than the normal speed (When we were already driving at speed of 60-70 km/hr) when i went to adyar cancer institute’s entrance a huge number of cancer patients and their families were kept waiting on entrance by chennai traffic police. I was so stunned to see that as a result of which i dint enter the institute as there was no space. The police inspector came and started banging on my door and started shouting. He literally banged my door with his fist thrice. Then i saw some ministers car passing by. This was the first time when i actually saw traffic police working otherwise i travel through the same route daily. It’s so lame to keep patients waiting just because of a minister!! Tamil nadu police it’s high time you learn manners!

Road and street both side are blocked by two wheeler, three wheeler and some times four wheeler also. Due to this aged people and women are difficulty for
Movement, some time clashes are also happen. Many time complaints are
Given to chennai corporation and traffic police wing. But as on date the issue not
Sorted out. Some of the complaint dates are as follow.
The areas are dr. Natesan road and irusappa street, triplicane, chennai5.

I am requesting to control traffic in perambur chennai at the junction of tulasingam street and ragragha street of madhavaram high road where the hours of evening blocked by improper riding and by liquor shops and biriyani centre customers who the people are parking their vehicles mere to centre of road which creates suffering to many of school children, women and other patients and also to the traveller who need to go to railway station etc.
Requesting to the traffic control authorities to arrange any traffic police to control the indiscipline traffic jam.

The duration of signal for traffic going from Eldams road to CP Ramasamy Road is very short and many times only few cars are able to pass before it turns red.

Also the vehicles from Ttk road to Eldams Road are usually standing well beyond the stop line and blocking the entrance to CP Ramaswamy road.. This causes a daily jam at that point and unnecessary delays.

Pl extend the duration of the signal and place a policeman to regulate atleast during peak hours.

This happened near saravana bhavan, alandur traffic signal from mkn road to chennai trichy highway at around 5.05 pm on 30-12-17.

I was riding back after an event at my work when a cop pulled me over for document verification. I had all the necessary documents. My license is from kerala. After checking the documents, he said the vehicle was not in my name (It was in my uncle's name who is a resident of chennai) and was saying mine was an other state license and riding someone else's bike so had to pay fine. I said the license is acceptable on an all india level why he was asking me to pay fine. He said i was to change the vehicle i was riding to my name (Ownership). After explaining to him much about the bike being my uncle's he was not ready to let go, even though i had produced all documents. He said to pay a fine of 800. I refused. He asked to get it from atm. I said i don't have that money and i can't pay. He made me wait a lot and then he said fine of 200. I paid the amount but the officer was not giving me receipt. When i asked for receipt he said he would give it at 800 and then tow away my bike. I had to give in at last to his taunts. I ended up paying 200 for no goddamn mistake of mine. Is it an offence to drive your friends or relations bike?. Damn these cops.

I live in the kk nagar area and the recently erected bike tracks are being used to park vehicles. Apart from that, the one way road is being accessed by both sides leading to an exceptional slow movement of traffic during office hours. Please enforce the use of biking lanes for its stated purpose and enforce the one way roads and it is exceedingly irksome to see the bikes and cars driving on the wrong side.

Good day!

There is a huge traffic at porur flyover because of saravana stores unloading their goods blocking the road. Public are being disturbed for a shop's personal gain. Please warn the shop people and help clear the traffic. To add their is no cops around the incident spot so that i can get help on this issue. A private company using/blocking public property for their gain should not be encouraged at all. Please act immediately and stop them causing public nuisance.

Sir, on day to day basis we face heavy traffic jam at basin bridge, can any solution be made, there are people who have to travel distance via basin bridge and those to have to take their connection from mint bus stand which is difficult. Please which ever way possible to reduce the traffic (Easy the traffic jam) so that people do not have to stand and push and accidents being occurred. Hope the in-charge consider the public situation and solve this issue at the earliest.

I am a student. I was driving a two wheeler when a police caught me.
The incident was " i was in a hurry to drop my friend to chennai central railway station, i was about to go in way where only mtc busses are allowed and at that time a traffic police called me. So i stopped and went near him. He said me to see the board that only mtc busses are allowed, then instead of leaving me he asked for all the details of mine and when he found all the details to be correct he threatened me to put me in a case of breaking the law and charge a fine of 1500rs (While i din't break any law). After few moments when i argued that i din't break the law then he threatened me to put some more cases on me. When i became silent, he asked me to pay as much as i can. Finally he took 100rs from me and left me. While leaving i noted his vehicle number.
Vehicle registeration number is: tn 18 1099.
Location: chennai central railway station signal.

Sir, I am a resident of multi-storeyed residential building Coromandel Towers. I move in and out of the building on various errands and return using Chetpat Bridge to reach the Poonamalle High Road, new name Periyar EVR Salai. Traffic flows constantly from Pachiappa College and other and cross Ega theatre at a good speed. We residing in the building have to be cautious to cross into left-side of the road to get into the building and we find it very risky. MTC buses, trucks and mini vans and cars and autos and two wheelers zip by. Worse is two wheelers and autos come from Kilpauk Hospital New Hope Hospital, though it is one way. At times traffic vehicle is seen parked but this danger persists.
Metro people have put a divider which further restricts movements of vehicles and in fact helps autos and two wheelers to come in the opposite direction.
Prayer is to traffic light may be lit up to allow vehicles taking a right turn more especially people like me living in residence after Indian Bank.
I feel it would be great help.

I was riding my bike, which is of karnataka registration, along with my friend, on the connecting road from ecr to sholinganallur junction named dr kalaignar karunanidhi salai. (Note. Both o[censored]s wearing helmets.)

I was stopped by 2 traffic police named n. Krishnan, and t. Balamurugan, literally pounced in front of my vehicle to stop and asked for my documents.

I showed the license, registration certificate which is in my brother's name, and the insurance and then they asked me about noc. (Non obstruction complaint as per the police officer n. Krishnan who has an experience of 33 years in the police department).

Since i doesn't know tamil, they talked with my friend the whole time who was pleading them to leave. I sensed that they were talking very harsh with him in tamil. They told us that we have to pay a fine of rs.3500 for not having noc. And that too the bike will be taken to the police station and that the owner of the bike (My brother) should come and pay fine and collect the bike.

Then after some pleading, he demanded nothing less than rs.1500. I told them that i have only rs.450 in my wallet. But they refused to take it and they asked us to go to the nearest atm and get the cash.

My complaint is about the money i paid. It went straight into their pockets.
Which is equivalent to paying bribe. (Which i dont want to) when asked about a receipt for the money i paid, they spoke very harsh to my friend in tamil, that the bike will be taken to the police station and kept there for 3 months then you will come to know...

I urge you to take action on the above mentioned officers, who are corrupt, on bribery and harassment

Raj

Added to this ration shop area is filled with mixture machines and tractors which they starts by 10 in the night creating sound pollution for the nearbys. Kindly put some no parking boards or tow the vehicles without any mercy. There is a transformer in this area which these local residents are using to dump wastes. On complaining to corporation officer he cudnt bring his lorry to clear the wastes because of this travels and mixture machines. Dont these fast track people have no money to buy and park their cars?

Hello Sir, The traffic police with a Van near Ascendas IT park, Taramani are charging money without even causing any violation. I am a newly joined employee and my officce is in Acendas IT park, As I need to park my bike outside the building for first day, I was looking for a place. And the police caught my bike for moving against one way and he is not ready to listen my words. Then he asked me Rs.2500. I never did any traffic violation, and As I am not a tamil speaking guy he says Rs.2500. Then I told him that I am not having money even in ATM. Then He asked me Rs.1000, Then Rs.500 Finally I was ready to pay only Rs.100. He accepted without bill and I was highly disturbed as it is like vegetable market negotiation. after coming to office, I checked penaulties online and shocked to see most of the penaulties are not more than Rs.100 for first offence. Please punish these blood suckers. and make rule that every traffice police Van should carry penautly card and then all fines will reach government. Please take action sir. Police job has become collection. And I feel very bad to defame indian police like this. Thanks.

I hope you are aware that signal near Ambica empire hotel in 100 ft road in Vadapalani is not working for nearly one week You are well aware it is an important signal and the vehicles are racing in high speed in 100ft road and we have to cross the road risking our lives. Lot of pedastrians, 2 wheelers, 3 and 4 wheelers cross this place heading to Saligramam and no action taken by you to rectify it. do you take action only if some accidents occur in the area?/ Everyday many of your officers and AC pass the area without caring to take action.
