For those who missed it in The Hindu this morning, the Hyderabad Traffic Authorities are seeking suggestions:
"... the city traffic police are eliciting suggestions of citizens to improve the traffic situation in the capital that has about 20.49 lakh vehicles. Citizens can either call: 90102 03626 or send emails to website: www.htp.gov.in and trafficpolicehyderabad@yahoo.co.in. And the assurance is replies will be given to all queries."
So if you want to go down the activist road then stop grumbling and call them. Honestly though, I think this suggestion business was always there, its just that they publicize it from time to time. Each time they conduct one of these citizen participation drives in reality all they undertake is yet another Public Relations exercise. I suspect that these authorities in reality suppose that the public's suggestions lack feasibility and are mostly either rants or whines but by and large simple minded and naive. But they still have to keep us engaged!

The next time Manish breaks a signal, please inform the police immediately. I used to have very bad experiences as a pillion when we use to come to college.
Have to get him to Erragadda before we take him to the police.
