So death traps only merit mention if they’re in upmarket locales? I’m not saying you consciously implied that, but we all have that unconscious bias, deep within. It shocked you not simply because it was a death trap, but because it was a death trap on Chamiers Road. If it was in some middle-of-nowhere, neglected North Chennai area, would you have given it a second glance?

its the same all over India. I’d suggest you forward this to some newspaper and bring the issue to a more diverse audience.

Dear kiruba

At bangalore we had this tragedy on KH road about 12 years back. A camel was walking on the road and a motorist honked at it and the damn thing fell on the sharp edges of the divider spear and died a horrible death.

cheers
mohan!

kiruba,
Thanks for bringing this to attention. I suggest that you bring this to the attention of some english daily (preferably IE or DC) so that some remedial action happens.

That is Singara Chennai for you !

You plant trees – Good cause.

You pave roads – Not your work.

Don’t even go near these. You’ll die/fall sick.

Chennai sucks – This is one small example…Heart of city…
