in infinite wisdom shiv sastry spoke thus On 09/18/2007 09:00 AM:
Yesterday I decided to take an Auto (rickshaw) to go and pay my advance tax
dues. On the ride back I encountered what we in Bangalore are encountering
more and more often around this time of year - i.e in the time frame between
Ganesha habba and Diwali.
A narrow Gandhinagar street was further narrowed by a truck carrying a huge
idol of Ganesha being taken for immersion.
I had a similar encounter. However, I must say that the Bangalore
traffic police did a great job of clearing a way through the street
packed with dancers and devotees so that the people returning back from
the office could pass through. Had this been in Delhi, the police would
have simply given up and waited for the procession to clear up on its
own accord. Given the limited road space in Bangalore and the heavy
monsoons here, it is really great to see the traffic police managing the
resources so well.
