The searing summer heat, which seems to have touched a new peak, has made life difficult for the residents in Tiruchi. For the commuters, especially those going to work on two-wheelers, it has become an ordeal to wait at the traffic signals. It is said that many motorists preferred jumping the signals to waiting in the heat.
The police had put up a green shade shelter at Puthur signal a few days ago. Encouraged by the good feedback, the police put up one more canopy at the Karur Bypass-Shastri Road junction.
The shelter, spread over 2,000 sq. ft. of space on the road leading to the signal, offers a respite for the commuters.
