Traffic police personnel offer counselling to motorists and bring autorickshaw drivers on board to promote COVID-appropriate behaviour It a customary practice for the traffic police to issue a challan and then counsel motorists, especially youngsters among them, who overstep the rules of the road.
The pandemic has caused their “counselling workload” to spike sharply. Take the case of the Harrington Road junction in Chetpet.
The Chetpet police personnel manning the junction look for motorists with the missing face mask, wave them down, and give away a free face to them. On an average, every day, these personnel give away face masks to around 70 motorists, mostly youngsters. This gesture is preceded by five minutes of counselling.

First-time voters voted with enthusiasm.
Be it the first-time voters or senior citizens, residents of constituencies in south Chennai who came out to vote on Tuesday were united in their enthusiasm.
Model booths at T.T.K. Road and CIT Nagar welcomed voters with balloon arches and a red carpet. The booths were decorated with bright pink and yellow fabric. Election officials said the aim was to encourage more voters to turn up.
U. Karthiyayini, a first-time voter, said she was thrilled to exercise her franchise. “I had enrolled myself in the voters’ list. Though I did not receive my elector’s photo identity card in time, I checked my name on the list and came to vote. It feels good to make my voice heard,” she said.
