To reach out to the public with ease, Chennai City police has inaugurated four new booths in the East Zone recently. All of them were inaugurated on June 28 at various places in Mandaiveli, Kamarajar Salai and Royapettah by the East Chennai Joint Commissioner of Police, S.N. Seshasai.
The one on West Cott Road, Royapettah, is situated opposite to the Express Avenue. As the road has been made a one-way, a huge volume of traffic flows through it and there is a rising need to monitor the vehicles traversing the stretch. “There was a need to put up a booth at this particular junction as the mall attracts a huge crowd every day and one has to keep vigil to prevent crime and theft in the vicinity,” said Mr. Seshasai. As the facility is attached to the D-2 Anna Salai Police Station, people need not go all the way to lodge a complaint. In the case of an emergency, the complaint can be handed over to the beat officer of the area in the booth.
