The Madras High Court has directed the Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police to constitute special squads for effective and efficient control of traffic on Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road and in strategic locations of other important roads in the city.
Justice SM Subramaniam also ordered that the Commissioner must initiate swift action on complaints against police personnel regarding demand or acceptance of "freebies, bribes, mamool or other extraneous consideration" from shopkeepers to turn a blind eye towards parking of vehicles in no parking areas.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
