IS THERE ANY LAW AND ORDER IN CHENNAI..??.. It is a jungle raj..!!.. the police seem to be standing like a 'lamp post" in all VIP routes but have very little time to attend common man's vows. No wonder, people have started taking law into their own hands and those, who can afford it - have their own private army. Chennai was not so bad till recently and for seniors like us - we can see the rot clearly over the last 10 to 15 years. In fact, I know of many people who would visit the local police as a "LAST OPTION ONLY"...!!!..

There are two wings in Chennai police. Traffic & Law n Order. Both police are untrained and NOT RECRUITED ON MERIT. Hence, UNPROFESSIONAL and look to recover their "investment " for appointment. They are overworked, underpaid and are MOST CORRUPT. Traffic police can CREATE a Traffic Jam out of a smooth Traffic flow and the other Police CAN BOTCH UP ANY CRIME INVESTIGATION.HENCE VERY FEW JAILTERMS FOR CRIMINALS FROM COURTS AND CASES DRAG ON AND ON. THEY ARE THE BEST IN COLLECTING BRIBES AND BUTTRESSING THEIR BOSSES. WISH CHENNAITES AND TAMILNADU HAD A MORE PROFESSIONAL POLICE SET UP WHO WILL BE KNOWN AS A "GUARDIAN OF PUBLIC INTEREST" AND WHO WILL BE EFFICIENT AND HONEST.
