Chennai City Traffic Police — Unfair penal action, and arrogance

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

I had parked my car on the sides of the Nungambakkam High Road today (Sunday at around 5 p.m), and was harassed with locking the wheels, and a fine of Rs 200.

Even when I indicated to the charging officer that there was no 'NO PARKING' sign anywhere in the vicinity he was so arrogantly responding that no sign is required, and no vehicles are supposed to be parked on either side of the Main Roads. If that is true then how come hundreds of vehicles blocking the traffic flow are parked all through the day on both sides of the road at St.Mary's Road, Alwarpet, Chennai 18?

More than the unfair treatment it is the indifferent manner in which he was not even responding to my queries which irks me even more. He even forbid the driver from giving me an explanation!! Am I not entitled to what I am being fined for, and that why is that NO PARKING signs are missing at the place where I was being penalised?

ARROGANCE at its height, and merely because they have the law in their hands? When will the general public be respected, and given dignified reactions?

Higher authorities can inspect it and take necessary action against the police jawans

traffic — City traffic

Respect sir, I live born this city and I love this city a lot.
Where the government making the traffic role for vehicles. But at that same time there is no parking signal. There is a compulsory thalawala are panipori are intercity are same so kind plz do needful.
Police arrogance is nothing new. We basically need to analyse the problem at its roots. Even I was fined Rs.100/- for parking under the bridge near Panagal Park.

Ironically, just before minutes I paid the penalty, I saw a car with Red lamp with a 'three star' plate blocking the road at the turning towards Pothys showroom. The driver in a police uniform was guarding the vehicle. All this was happening at around 1745 hrs in the evening of 26.10.12. One can easily understand that the car belongs to a very high ranking police officer probably in the rank of a commissioner. Now, who is to penalise the top cop for the parking at such a busy place, when people are trying to negotiate a curve at such a peak hour? Will the sergeant dare to levy the penalty for the officer who enjoys the facility of a three- starred car? The Chief secretary of Tamilnadu Government may please note this.

The problem should be rooted out by keeping 'Parking zones' aplenty than 'No Parking' areas. The duty doesn't end with penalising the public, but the police should specifically address the problem of providing parking zones for car owners. The government should facilitate abundant parking zones if people are to be deterred from parking their cars in 'No Parking' Zones.

The government should play a proactive role in curbing the problem and should be a 'part of the solution, not a part of the problem'. Mere exercise of authority doesn't suffice. Again, what about the law enforcer, who has broken the law in the above instance as mentioned in paragraph 2?

Traffic Piled up from Airport to OTA-
The traffic between Airport to OTA have been heavy for last one year due to metro work near OTA. Neither they are not widening the footpath nor they allow inside the OTA for easy diversion of traffic. Everyday morning, we spend about more 1 hour to cross the traffic for streatch of 2KM. Look at the waste of time or waste diesel/petrol and waste of national economy.

There are ways, in which the they can easily regulate the traffic.
1. Between Cementary Road Signal and OTA, they can remove the footpath, and broaden the road so that the both traffic from ORR as well as GST traffic can be easily bu-passed.
2. Allow the traffic through OTA during the peak hours.
3. Widen the fencing near the station, where the work is happening on both sides.
4. Allow more time for the green signal for GST traffic in Cementary Road Signal
