    These type of traffic violations are a common daylight scene in broad daylight with the TP turning a blind eye or busy on their mobiles. This Smart City and surrounding areas have become the accident capital of the country if one goes by the number of fatal accidents that take place every day; absolutely no adherence to traffic rules thanks to the sloppy enforcers; pathetic unscientifically constructed roads and junglee drivers; now even innocent pedestrians are not safe!!

    My dear Lyn, Mr. Jossey expressed his views without mentioning anyone's name...Everyone is unique in their nature and so as in their profession !! Politicians can do job what Shri Jossey is performing ? Everyone is destined with different different profession....based on their education/talents/dreams/aims!! If everyone joins political profession, who will be there in other important fields like engineering/medical/IT/clerical/and so many other fields ? One should appreciate him for his dedication to daiji inspite of his other regular work.....He doesn't hurt anyone..."bad mouth...., ........ " do not suit him.

    @Lyn; only the most stealthy, corrupt, heartless, selfish, and venomous persons can enter this game; anyways, today there's no profession 😔 left where one can prosper without the above qualities. You should be appreciating that atleast a handful of people bother to know about what is going on in their neighborhood (forget the larger picture) take time and have the guts to put forward their views unlike cowards who just want to watch the fun and mark disagree blindly 🤣!!

    This is a problem seen frequently on our roads in the busy parts of the city too, most often in the evenings....Goods vehicles, autos and two wheelers are responsible. Police just take no notice . All kinds of material like pipes, metal frames, poles and building material are involved. Also the materials are not secured well and often fall of posing more dangers. High time serious action is taken.

    Police are to blame. They turn blind eye to these obvious issues.
