Every time in Tamil Nadu during festival, transportation will be the talk of town. Most buses collect 5x times the normal bus fare. At the same time, the high ways also face more accidents as lots of buses rush in lots of speed. Most buses travel at speed of 150 Kmph and they cross in blink of an eye.


They never care about the safety regulations. As Pongal is nearing, we can see lots of injuries and deaths due to more number of vehicles. The number of Omni buses that leave during this festival seems to be more than 500. In normal days the count will be within 100.


Regarding this State transport authority (STA) official said, "We have formed 17 teams who will monitor five critical junctions in the city, including Koyambedu, Central railway station and Egmore railway station.


Around 61 inspectors will check for permits, safety features of bus like emergency windows, hammers and general fitness of the vehicle. We have decided to fine a huge sum if these are not followed. We will also penalize those who have not paid taxes."
