AU Small Finance Bank, as part of the bank’s road safety initiative under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative, has installed two traffic police booths in the Mylapore zone and deployed 30 traffic barricades across high-density traffic zones in Chennai.
The traffic police booths have been installed at two junctions – MRC Nagar junction (near Sun TV Network signal), Karpagam Avenue Road and at the San Thome cathedral traffic signals junction.
In addition, 30 barricades have been placed along North Mada Street, Kutchery Road, R K Mutt Road and Dr Radhakrishnan Salai, areas that routinely witness heavy vehicular and pedestrian movement.
This initiative, the bank said in a media release, will support the Chennai Traffic Police in maintaining law and order, and enhance road safety awareness among citizens in some of the city’s busiest corridors
The bank’s branch is at No 320, Preethi Towers, Royapettah High Road Mylapore Chennai – 600004.
The space below the MRTS line in Mandaveli MRTS is a neglected area. When other areas below the MRTS railway bridge look grand with parks and walking area, here cattles are breed, not one but many. It was originally meant for developing a park but this space is abused for other purposes. The cattles moo and bellow and the owners fight and brawl at odd hours. It has become a nuisance to the residents in this area. Already, the canal bank road is abused by mechanics who dump broken autos, tinker and paint vehicles . The GCC officials should think of alternate space for cattle reares and automobile mechanics. There is a GO that cattles cannot be reared within corporation limits which was enacted during the Chief Ministership of Dr MGR. Is the Go still in vogue or it has been amended or cancelled? In any case, residents have a right to live peacefully and the authorities should ensure that residential areas are not used for cattle rearing and setting up auto repair shops.
