Schools and collegesare the new ‘parking lot’

Campuses are being used to keep vehicles seized during lockdown

With schools and colleges closed for vacation and likely to remain closed in favour of online classes for quite some time, the Chennai police have hit upon an idea for the safe-keeping of vehicles seized during the lockdown. Vehicles seized from the public for violating lockdown rules are being kept on campuses. With a majority of police stations in Chennai already lacking adequate space, this is probably the best possible way in which the issue of keeping additional vehicles could be addressed. Having such a ‘dedicated’ space would ensure the safety of these vehicles, which are largely two-wheelers.
