The joys of crossing a road

01/13/09 02:30 - silkboard

The pedestrian chaos at ORR-Old Madras Road interchange can'tt be stated in words, so I tried this video last week (find it below). The place is a live example of collaboration, lack of it rather, between multiple sarkaari bodies.

Oh yeah, the job of taking initiatives is best left to the citizens.
