Ugly posters

There is a ‘Clean Rail, Clean India’ billboard at the waiting room on platform 1 of Tirunelveli Junction. But the three walls of the waiting room were full of advertisement posters. Of course it is the responsibility of the people to keep the station clean. At the same time it is the duty of the station authorities to prevent people from defacing the premises. Moreover, it has become a common sight to see posters pasted on roadside signboards. Barricades and the lamp posts also are not spared in the menace which not only confuses but distracts the vehicle riders and other road users. Stern action should be taken against such people which can be easily done since the phone number and address are found in these unauthorised posters.

Ban LED lights

Kerala government has banned fitting of LED lights in motor vehicles, But in Tamil Nadu many vehicles have fixed LED headlights which blind riders and drivers coming in the opposite direction, resulting in accidents. Some years back, RTO authorities and police used to fix bull’s eye on the headlights of all vehicles during Road Safety Week. The Tamil Nadu government should levy heavy penalty on owners of vehicles with LED lights. If not, court should take up this issue suo moto and issue directions.
