Haphazard parking on congested bylanes, people gathering outside wine shops, rise in petty theft and drug peddling were some of the major concerns raised by the residents of Yalikaval and Sanjay Nagar
Haphazard parking on congested bylanes, people gathering outside wine shops, rise in petty theft and drug peddling were some of the major concerns raised by the residents of Yalikaval and Sanjay Nagar at the monthly Janasamparka Sabha organised by the police on Saturday.
During the interaction at Vyalikaval, residents sought Bengaluru Police Commissioner Kamal Pant’s intervention to resolve the problem of haphazard parking. “Owners park vehicles outside the house on both sides of narrow congested lanes. This not only blocks traffic movement but also leads to rows among the residents,” said one participant.
Residents also complained of people consuming alcohol outside and harassing passersby. Mr. Pant, who was chairing the interaction at Vyalikaval police station directed police officials to look into these issues and resolve them.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
