I get the feeling the Chennai Police work hard, but not hard enough. Every day, there are several reports in the media of crimes committed, ranging from murder to petty theft.

The day the police force stops kissing politician feet, stops protecting politicians and other big shots and their underlings, and starts focusing on its primary duties, the law and order situation in Chennai will reach near no-crime levels.

They are terrible at enforcing traffic rules and Supreme Court orders. Auto drivers still rip off passengers, still don't use their meters.
