I see ambulances struck in the middle of heavy traffic, honking for its free passage as it is caught up in jams due to non operative signals, unmanned crossroads, unhealthy roads and VIP movements. Other vehicles either in front or on the side cannot give space to it to slide out, despite their best intentions. I request GHMC and Traffic Police to develop a software to automatically turn signals green when the ambulances are near traffic posts. This could save the life of the patient in distress and minimise mortality rate.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
