The new flyover at Kadugodi opposite to Brindavan ashram is proving a great help to all commuters in terms of saving time and travel comfort.

Unpaid traffic fines - a survey

s_yajaman - 29-OCT-2009

Was checking if there were any fines against my car's number at www.btis.in.  None.  Then I decided to do a random sampling of cars on unpaid fines.
