A Nightmare for Motorist - Adyar

Every time I am stuck in a traffic jam and see an ambulance stuck in the traffic, it really pains my heart.There were many cases where somebody’s relative who had suffered a heart attack, passed away on the way to the hospital since the ambulance could not reach the hospital on time, thanks to the traffic jam and diversions! How sad! This happened on the day when there was a heavy traffic in many places because of Vijayakanth addressing his party workers or whatever.!!

Stuck in a jam near NIFT for more than 20 minutes and finally reaching L.B.Road after another 20 minutes only to find a never-ending line of vehicles caught in the traffic jam there, bus being diverted from L.B.Road to some road on the left which I had never taken before thereby leaving me clueless as to where the bus was going!, travelling inch by inch through Indira Nagar, Shastri Nagar, etc. and reaching the signal near Adyar bus stand/Ambika Appalam Depot a good 40 minutes later!, this is one traffic jam that I will never forget. Surprisingly, there were very only a few vehicles on the road from there till Adyar Bridge.

Would an ambulance with a patient have been able to reach the hospital on time or would an ambulance have reached the patient’s place on time when there is a traffic jam like this everywhere in the city?? I wonder what happiness politicians get in causing inconvenience to the public. It’s high time they started having their meetings, protests, etc. on days and at places which causes the least inconvenience to public!
