Chennai: Using a locking drill over the past two years, the city residents on Sunday remain indoors and large because of complete locking amid a surge in Covid-19 case.
Arterial streets such as Anna Salai, Jalan Chetty Gn, Jalan Eldams, Poonamalee High Road, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Kamarajar Salai, Rajiv Gandhi Salai and the East Coast road wear a quiet look, except some introductory agencies and important services.
Because the MTC bus service was suspended, the driver of the car and the taxi fell, which was waiting for hours at the key transit point in the entire city.
Sivakumar, who reached the central train station with the express train said the driver automatically demanded 400 to rise to Royapettah.
Usually, they charge less than 150 for a short trip like that.
He arrived at Chennai to meet relatives, who have been received at the regional government hospital.
Such passengers solely depend on the suburban train.
But only 50 percent of the available trains are operated.
The situation is not different at the Terminus Bus Chennai Mofussil (CMBT), Koyambedu.
Some passengers from North Indian countries are left stranded throughout the day.
These passengers, who reached Tamil Nadu after 2-3 days traveled by express train and then managed to reach CMBT in the Autorickshaws, did not know about complete locking.
They slept at the terminal overnight waiting to take the first bus in the morning on Monday.
The business of feeding food is also less than the number of orders, said executive delivery from online food aggregators.
Larger Chennai police fined 5,971 people because they did not wear a mask and collect 11.94 lakh in a fine.
They enrolled 318 cases and won 761 vehicles, including 665 bicycles and 66 autorickshaws, on Saturday.
A total of 12 people were booked to drive drunk.
On Sundays, 312 checkpoints are arranged throughout the city.
Those who came with hospital receipts, wedding invitations and train tickets were left, while those found wandering around which did not need to be ordered.
At all, 10,000 police personnel from law and order, traffic, and armed police wings have been deployed on band bandobust tasks in the city.
Police personnel continue to patrol to check whether the shops and commercial companies remain open.
Autorickshaw and taxi drivers were asked to show a photocopy of the train and flight tickets from their passengers.
